Thanks for your comments and suggestions. A new phone might be the fix in the long term. I don't like doing things that depend on Gmail or Yahoo. Outlook.com I have no opinion yet. If we stay with Blackberry, Q10 keyboard might be the way to go. How about all the bad news coming out of Canada in this decision?

It's been a long time since I've tried supporting a Blackberry without BES, but I do remember reading how Google and Yahoo had some notification setup to speed up delivery to Blackberries. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Microsoft had Outlook.com doing the same thing. BIS pretty much has a 20 minute delay built in to anything else. To work around this, you're probably looking at a few options: 1) Accept it for what it is. I throw this out there not as a serious suggestion, but rather as a baseline. 2) Forward mail to a Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook.com account to get it delivered instantly. Deliver outgoing messages from the Blackberry through Exchange SMTP. Adds a layer of potential failure, but for a single user maybe not the worst thing. 3) BES Express 4) Convince them to buy a Q10 or Z10 so they can use ActiveSync. Outside of that, I've got nothing. Good luck. On 8/16/2013 7:09 PM, Kim Geiger wrote: > Could it be something as simple as how often it is set to check the server for new mail? > > >
