Delaying recurring appointments does not delay notifications.
I have several weekly appointments which do not occur over the summer months. I have changed the start-date on these appointments to the first or second week of September, and they (correctly) no longer appear on my daily digest - but I continue to receive notifications for them via twitter and email. Notifications are set to "2 hours before", not to a specific date/time.

Inappropriate?It sounds like this is a problem with Recurring Events.
I'd like to help, can you give me a little more info on the situation? First, are your appointments tagged as "todo"? This might be important. Second, editing Recurring Events may be a little confusing, they have at least 2 parts to them, the "next occurrence", and "All Future Occurrences". Which one did you change? Did you change both? (Sometimes when you click on a recurring event there is a pop up box that warns you that you're going to change all future occurrences of the repeating event. Did you see this pop up, or did the edit box show up with the two different options "this occurrence" and "All Future Occurrences"?)
Do a search on a keyword and find all instances of one of your Recurring Events that is malfunctioning. That might be helpful. (The search box on the Sandy webpage defaults to searching all archived, done and past events.) What do you see?
There may be a lot of "done" Recurring Events show up in your list, but that's OK. Every time a Recurring Event is tagged as "done" it actually creates a new instance of the event and marks the new instance as done. (At least I think that's what happens.)
Is there any other oddity besides the extra Twitter/email messages? Are the messages the only thing that's concerning you? It might help to figure out what's wrong. -
Inappropriate?The appointments are not tagged as "todo".
The change was made to "All Future Occurrences".
There was no pop-up confirmation, but this does not seem relevant, since it's clear that the changes to the appointments were made (as they no longer appear on digests or on my calendar, until September). It is only the notifications which seem not to have been changed.
A search on keyword shows no further instances of these appointments until the correct next instance (in September). There are no "done" events (but as these are not tagged with "todo", I wouldn't expect to see them marked as "done").
Everything apart from the notifications appears to have been edited correctly. -
Inappropriate?Howdy, Notsheep.
This should be working as expected — and not as it appears to be for you.
If you could forward the URLs for a couple of these to help@iwantsandy.com I'd be glad to take a gander. (Just right-click or Control-click the name of the item in the list on the Web site and copy the URL.)
Alternately — and perhaps more usefully for troubleshooting purposes — you can forward one of the reminders you received by email to help@iwantsandy.com.
Please be sure to reference this conversation in your email to help (just paste in http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... or add [notsheep] to the subject line so I notice it right away.
We'll get it sorted for you!
