About email reconciliation
Email reconciliation means that any message you
file or delete on your handheld will also be filed or
deleted in your mailbox. Likewise, any changes
that you make to messages in your mailbox are
reflected on your handheld.
If your handheld integration option supports
wireless email reconciliation, changes are
automatically reconciled over the wireless
network.
You can also configure wireless email
reconciliation options using the handheld.
If your handheld integration option does not
support wireless email reconciliation, changes are
reconciled using the BlackBerry Desktop Software.

reconciliation, refer to the
