iCal does not send email reminders?

[vmv89]

iCal did not send email reminder for the times I have set.
I use iCal as my calendar app and Outlook as my email client. Maybe this is the reason? Will it send email reminders only if I use Apple Mail client?

(I did write the correct email address on my Contact Card).

Thank you!

i don't get what all this contact card business is?
I've never needed to deal with it in the past.

I used to be able to have email reminders sent to my email account.
It was an option in iCal. It seems to be gone.
Maybe it's a Mavericks thing? i only got 10.9.5 a few months ago.
I'll get Yosemite before Shasta comes out.
