How to stop calendar notifications repeating every single minute

I use the Outlook app for android App-version 2.2.19 (225) mainline.

When I have a meeting with a reminder 15 minutes before the meeting, I get a notification - this is OK. I then get a reminder 14 minutes before too - not OK. I then get another reminder 13 minutes before - not OK. This goes on. So unless I take action I get 15 notifications. Like most I have my phone in my pocket. I typically recognize the notification without taking my phone out of my pocket.

At least it should be configurable to have 1 or all 15 notifications. I would think most would like to have one notification per meeting.

Best

Hello Everyone - This post is almost a year old now, and as we noticed some folks reporting this issue recently (July/Aug timeframe), we went back and looked if there is any such known issue or bug on our side, we didn't find any. Then we tried to reproduce it with current and older Android devices using latest Outlook app from the store - we were not able to reproduce it either.

So at this time, if you still see this issue with the latest version of Outlook app on your device, then please contact the in-app support for Outlook. Support gets latest logs from your device when you use in-app support, which helps in investigation of an issue. See instructions in this article: Get in-app help for Outlook for iOS and Android - We do want to investigate this issue for a possible fix, but we can only do that if you report it thru in-app support and then work with our Support team. Thank you! (post updated on 8/16/2018)

    After trying the wishful workarounds like uninstall-reinstall etc., and marveling at a premiere branded program from a large company messaging me every minute for hours after meetings, I finally managed to solve this problem: I uninstalled Outlook Mobile and now use a better-supported mail reader.

    This is the best suggestion for a solution AFAIK. Would you mind sharing which mail reader you supplement Outlook Mobile with?

    I'm having the same problem. I previously had this app installed on a ZTE phone & did not have this issue. Now, with a Galaxy Samsung S9+, I am having it. It is SO annoying. 

    Phone: Galaxy Samsung S9+

    Android Version: 8.0.0

    Samsung Experience Version: 9.0

    App Version: 2.2.114 (250)

    I wish that worked for me.  The only way to stop the notifications with the power button on mine would be to power it off entirely, and I can't do that, alas, I have resigned to the idea that Microsoft Outlook simply wants to make sure beyond a shadow of a doubt, not only that you know  something is coming, but that you should now be 1 minute into it, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, etc...  LMAO
