If security is a big concern and you like the MSDOS-in-the-cc-field interface for this sort of thing (I like a menu, datepicker, and natural language input, but I'm obviously biased!), check out http://www.bumper.cc. It's an open-source replacement for FollowUpThen, FollowUpCC, NudgeMail, Laytr, HitMeLater, etc.

The developer claims that it takes only 5 minutes to set up, and you can get a micro AWS instance for free. Then you control all the data, and you don't have to pay.

The developer would be me, thanks for the shout Alex! :)

Quick shameless plug, this was a weekend project and it's up on Github, just PHP and MySQL, so if anyone wants to contribute it is more than welcome.

Brilliant, was just about to start making one of these myself (this practice would be great for actually getting responses out of lecturers), thanks for sharing.
