Hi all,
Hope you're all having a nice weekend - and a somewhat less puzzling one than mine
I took the (probably stupid) step today of migrating to Exchange 2007 from 2003. Previously I had an SBS 2003 box with BES Express running on it and it was working beautifully. I migrated the environment to a brand new 2003 x64 Exchange 2007 box and the old SBS box was wiped and is now running BES standalone.
It seems to be talking to the Exchange server fine and virtually everything is synching as it should, except items I send using Outlook. Here's the deal:
1) If I send a message on my BB, it is reflected in sent items in Outlook immediately
2) If I send a message using OWA, it is reflected in sent items on my BB immediately
3) If I send a message using Outlook, it is NOT reflected in sent items on my BB for sometimes up to about an hour but it IS reflected in sent items on OWA immediately
Weird huh? Here is an excerpt of the mailbox sync log for a message sent via outlook which was received immediately (I sent it to myself and the incoming message synched immediately but the sent item synched 15 minutes later).

Comparing this log with one where I sent a message to myself using webmail, I can see that sent items from webmail get caught by notification, whereas sent items from outlook get caught on rescan (which I am guessing is done periodically?).
Do any of you have an idea what I could do to get the outlook messages to notify? If I had hair, it would have all been pulled out today!!
Cheers,
Chris
