How to have iCal email me reminders

emailical

I have heard of people getting email reminders from iCal, but I can't figure out how to do it. So the obvious question is:

How do I have iCal email me reminders?

As I see now that was removed. In that case is there a widget to let me email reminders to myself?

It seems what you are now looking for is an Alert.

From Yosemite Calendar help:

Set event alerts and receive notifications

Be notified of an upcoming Calendar event by setting one or more alerts for it. An alert can place a notification on your screen, send an email, or open a file.

Set an alert for an event

Double-click an event, then click the event’s date.

Click next to Alert and do either of the following:

Choose a time or day from the pop-up menu.

Choose Custom and then choose one of the following options:

Message: Displays a notification on the screen.

Message with sound: Displays a notification on the screen and makes a sound.

Email: Sends you an email.

Select Custom

Choose Email
