Hello,

from my personal point of view, I typically disable alarm syncing for folders 
that I do not have write permissions anyway, so I do not need a setting for 
enabling or disabling alarms of events imported from the mobile.

It would however be a great enhancement over the current z-push implementation 
if it was possible to somehow determine the folder that an event is imported 
to even when syncing in "flat mode". It is very annoying that all events 
created on the mobile end up in the personal calendar.

Best regards
Heiner
