If you go into your message list and hit the Menu key, you might notice an item towards the bottom called Reconcile Now. If you’re as curious as me, you might have selected it a few times. Yet, most of us can’t define exactly what it does. Thankfully, the answer is simple. If you’re currently a BIS user, you can actually stop reading here. The option doesn’t have a function for you.
When I hit Reconcile Now, it was usually with the intent of having a message pop up on my BB that I know is in my Inbox (usually when I email myself a link). However, for the most part nothing happens. This hasn’t been an issue since my Gmail has been pushed immediately via IMAP. Little did I know back in the day, though, that I was hitting a useless option.
Reconcile Now does work for BES users, though. It will match the emails on your account with what’s on your BlackBerry. So items you’ve read on your BB appear read in your Outlook, and messages you delete on your device will be gone from Outlook.
Your BlackBerry automatically reconciles, but the Reconcile Now option gives you the ability to do it whenever.

That seems silly. Why can’t “reconcile now” have my BIS check my GMail IMAP to sync up what’s read and what’s unread???

I have a gmail account too but I can only receive SOME emails on my blackberry curve. How do I fix this?
Hello!,
How did you set up Gmail. IMAP? Are you using the application?
How do I set my blackberry to work that when I read my emails in my computer it shows that they are read in my blackberry?
What I have now is that I read my emails in my computer, and then they still appear as new and unread in my blackberry… I want to be able to delete messages from my email at my computer and have them automatically deleted in my blackberry. any thoughts?
I am interested in the same question. Did you get an answer?
I work at my desk, checking messages, answering, deleting and then pick up my BB and everything is still there. Why do I have to spend time deleting all of these off my BB?
Reconcile seems like the answer but I don’t know how.
HELP!
