Owkee, if your BlackBerry doesn't allow you to do a sync of the folders you
need, then it indeed might be a better approach to use IMAP instead. If you
can configure your BlackBerry to collect the IMAP account on its own, you'd
no longer be dependent for your email on your desktop or laptop. Of course
you'd need the sync for additional features such as Calendar an Contacts
which IMAP doesn't support.
