[tellapu <773896@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am also with Ubuntu 11.10, but there is no pop-up window. 
It would be good to have a pop-up window (and a possibility to stop it in the preferences for the people that do not like it.) 
An indicator with a drop-down list of all active notification would be great as well. It would be handy if the notification(s) would be listed there (not disappear) until some action has been done (e.g. deactivate them by clicking on the entry).
Indicator-icon should change when there is a notification or should disappear when there is none.
And surely the importance of this issue/bug should be "high".

Title:
  Evolution does not show persistent alarms in Unity

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evolution

  In 10.10 and before, Evolution alarms would appear in the system tray. With Unity, there is no persistent trace of alarms associated with calendar events after the notification bubble has disappeared.
  I think this is a regression: I trusted this function to remind me of important appointments, but unless I am in front of my screen at the appropriate moment (when the notification bubble appears) I am not made aware of these appointments. 
   
  The workaround is to whitelist evolution-alarm-notify. But presumably there needs to be a solution that integrates better with Unity, perhaps a message in the message indicator and the icon turning blue, or the date-time glowing blue and appointment flashing under the date-time menu?
