However this is expensive in terms of server horsepower and probably needs to be manually added to each mailbox. Worse on Exchange 2000 I think even some server scripts ran only when users were logged on to the Domain.

You could also force a similar script for Outlook onto all the regular desktops to relieve server stress…but that would be a pain and a risk. And it would only act when users opened their Outlook on the desktop machines. This script or VB.NET code would be pretty simple as I vaguely recall. Assuming you are a .NET programmer with a desire to leaf thru the Outlook API and object model.

Hope the Blackberry admin manual has something keen and neat to do the deletes as they happen more directly.

There is an option to do this so long as you have BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1. Never used it myself but reading the doc it suggests it does what you need by reconciling permanently deleted messages. See pg 68 in admin guide. Which is downloadable from http:www.blackberry.com

many thanks, I think you’ve got the problem.
I have looked around for some documentation about this interoperability question and for some utility capable to make IMAP-Outlook delete messages “MAPI style”, but I have found nothing at all so far.

Many thanks
Epenco

we mainly delete messages from Inbox. We use BlackBerry as an ADDITIONAL mobile e-mail terminal, the main one being the laptop.
The target is: when we delete messages with Outlook-IMAP, someway we need to have messages moved to the Server side “Deleted Items” folder instead than just being “marked for deletion”.
Thanks a lot for your help

Epenco

But I have passed your question on to a friend of mine at RIM. So we will have to wait and see.
