Mailbox Mirroring

Problem:  We have users that have mailboxes in the U.S. and use blackberry to
access their mail, these users also travel overseas where the romaing charges
are killing them for the blackberries.  What is the possibility of mirroring
the mailbox from the U.S. to the Europe Mail server, I know you can only have
one mailbox so how would a company get this to work.  It would be nice if
there was a way for the device, OWA and / or the outlook client to know which
server was the closes with that one mailbox.

Just a big wish but does anyone have a idea of how to at least make it a
little better.

None, you can't mirror the mailboxes.
Network charges are part of the TCO of a BlackBerry solution. If you
can't afford them you simply turn them off. Whoever did the business
case should have known about the roaming charges.

Having the mailboxes physically closer won't help. The roaming charges are
applied regardless of where the data comes from.

You can disable the users blackberry functionality in the BES server
administrator while they are out and resume when they return.
