It would be better in a Conferencing client
"I need something to pop up and tell me about meetings, notes, and reminders as soon as I open the email client."

I guess you would actually want reminders whether you have email open or not.

As far as I can see the only reason meetings is in Outlook is because it arranges the meetings via email for historical reasons, calender just seems to be in Outlook because the meetings are in Outlook, Reminders seems to be in because meetings also need reminders. i.e. it just grew with bloat.

I have a different view. I think meetings in an email client was a bad choice, corporate instant messaging + video + meeting scheduling + conferencing would be a better fit.

Now that corporates have video conferencing and instant messaging the 'meetings' module seems a much better fit in that group.
