Desktop Manager doesn't sync email.. so there's no way this would ever work.
I have a hard time believing that RIM instructed you to even try it.

Would not work. Don't bother trying. Integrating an POP account via BIS does not get you any message pre-population at all. Pre-pop is a BES feature only.

Nothing, because it's impossible to do.

I suggest that you accept the fact that what you want to do can't be done.
1. Message pre-population for BES has a limit of 14 days / 750 messages. It cannot be changed.
2. Desktop Manager doesn't sync email at all. Useless to you.
3. BIS doesn't even pre-populate any past messages. You only get message delivery from the point of integration going forward.
You might also want to instruct the user to utilize the Remote Search feature of BES which will allow the user to search their ENTIRE mailbox for previous messages.
