They'll then complain that "my mail on my blackberry and thunderbird aren't in sync! I deleted that! ARGH!" instead.

I think this is one of the reasons I hate crackberry.

For me having a full and complete state sync of email on my phone is important. So if I read an email on the phone I want it marked as read on the desktop mail client. If I respond I want the response in Sent items on the desktop client and certainly if I delete a mail I want it deleted on the desktop.

This way I know I only need to look in one (either) place to get a full and complete picture of what emails I have dealt with and how I responded to them.

I guess to get around the 3rd party password problem I'd have to run a local BES and last time I looked at that it looked pretty evil and overcomplicated.

I have found an alternative to BES - funambol. I haven't yet installed it for this customer, but I've heard good things about it.
