Thanks all. I went ahead and deleted her user account from the BES Server and reactivated her device with a new account. Except for the fact that in the process her voice service and Bluetooth stopped working, everything seemed OK for a day, and then yesterday she emailed me a curt "email sync not working again" message.
With her frenetic schedule in and out of the building it's hard to get more information, and even harder to get my hands on the phone, so I'll have to wait to get more details. I have this feeling this issue is going to be a long term problem, and of course it's the CEO.

I've looked at this to get an idea of timings for delivery, where users complained it was slow, and to try and prove if the BES was slow or if the users carrier was causing delays. In your example you may find the one that arrived on the BB had a refid and the other didn't. If they both have refid's I'm stumped! The link below points to a script that dumps the refid information. http://www.blackberryforums.com/bes-admin-corner/87297-request-testers-b es-exchange-ref-id-folder-id-script.html Regards Phil ________________________________ From: Ralph Smith [mailto:m...@gatewayindustries.org] Sent: 13 April 2011 14:04 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OT (a little) Blackberry sync problem Phil, I have had her leave her deleted items folder full for several days and there was no difference in behavior. Reconcile Now also made no difference, but thanks for the suggestion.

Often users at senior level don't have time to wait for the reconcile to work, or have too busy a mailbox to worry about it. Their perception is that it should work in real-time but it doesn't. If the user, or more likely in this case, their PA has time it may be worth observing what happens if they just wait for reconciliation to work in both directions. Alternatively you can do the same sort of test but select Reconcile Now on the BB to force the process.
