Do you allow OWA? If so, then a Blackberry user can sync their email. I didn't believe it either until a coworker just showed me. No BES needed, no POP, no IMAP. I only allow 443 into the OWA.
It is truly synch'd too. Not just a browser view, but the email is downloaded to the device. Worse, the password is now stored on the device.
