About synchronization conflicts

A synchronization conflict occurs when you change the same email or organizer data item on your BlackBerry® smartphone and
in the email application on your computer.
If you reconcile your email using wireless email reconciliation, on your smartphone, you can set whether the email on your
smartphone or the email on your computer takes precedence when an email reconciliation conflict occurs.
