I'd go with that, except for one datum: mail sent to the user's account on the other domain on the same server reaches his BB immediately. Figure that one out! In the meantime I'll see if the service provider mentions IMAP IDLE in their report. If they do, will disable it altogether if possible -- what with all the custom scripting et al, it's going to be painful to switch IMAP servers at this stage. (Which reminds me, need to upload those scripts somewhere.) Worst case scenario, will recommend setting all BB accounts to POP3 -- I presume that is possible? Or do RIM/service provider decide which protocol they will use on your behalf?
