Blackberry in a non-Exchange environment...

We currently have several people (administrators) with a Blackberry. We
don't currently run MS Exchange. Our email program is Qmail, running on
Linux (very stable!) Without Exchange (or Lotus Notes or Novell GroupWise)
the Blackberry will not sync emails, even when connected physically. So
deleting an email becomes a two delete process - once on the Blackberry and
once on the administrator workstation. This annoys some end users. pop or
imap, still won't sync. We have plans to move to MS Exchange, but would
welcome any ideas or methods you may have used to make Blackberries work at
your place, especially if you are not running an Exchange server!. Thanks
in advance for your help/suggestions.
