POLA is about action (reaction to a user action). It's not about content...
Outlook still behaves as I'd expect... Right clicking on a message still
produces the same action of opening a context sensitive menu of actions that

It seems that Blackberry has released several updates to BES this week (SP2
MR5, SP 3, SP 3 MR1). The last thread (BES 5.0 SP2 MR4 and Exchange 2010 SP1

POLA is about producing the minimum changes necessary in the user
experience and in program behavior. The complete makeover of the UI
for Outlook (and Office) is an excellent example of violation of POLA.
Outlook does not behave as I'd expect, because they've changed the
user interface
My recommendation (which comes from someone really knows but I’m not allowed to
say their names or companies) is that you should install 5.02 MR5 or 5.03 with
MR1; plus Exchange 2010 sp1 ur3 as soon as it is re-released.

More Info:
The server is setup as a hub transport server. In the help files it says
that the hub transport server relays outbound mail through the edge server.
Does this mean that the server was installed for the wrong role. This is a
single server organization.

They are getting close, but no the gap has not been closed enough IMO.
However, there are plenty of 3rd party players out there that make up for it

I can't answer your cross site/continent question, but a database in a DAG is
designed to failover when a database becomes unavailable for any reason,
whether the hardware has failed, database access issue, or someone simple
rebooted a server by accident :) Mail delivery continues as normal,
30 to 45 seconds to see the failure and a few seconds to do an automated
failover.
