Outlook Sync problem : bidir sync tells me to delete 300+ entries on Outlook

Question

Hello all,
With my wife, we got 2 BB Curve 8520 and we're now trying to sync both of them with our Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP SP3. Both do the same thing :
1/ First sync goes well, the BB calendar gets filled up,
2/ Everything syncs well during a few days,
3/ One day, the sync tells us it will delete 3000+ elements on Outlook, of course I click Reject and cancel the sync,
4/ I restart OK by synching one-dir from Outlook tp BB,
5/ A few days after, it returns to step 3 and is behaving bad again.
I can't get any durable solution, the only thing I got is a workaround that lasts only a few days.
Our BB version (mine/my wife's) :
- Platform : 4.2.0.118 / 4.2.0.135
- Application : 4.6.1.274 / 4.6.1.314
Thanks a lot in advance to anyone who would give us a hint !

Lets do the math!
2 Blackberry's  > 1 Outlook calendar = Should work
2 Blackberry's > 1 Desktop manager = Should be fine.
2 Blackberry's +2 different email addresses > 1 desktop manager > 1 Outlook calendar. Error!!
Unless you each are changing the default email address in Outlook to match the default email address on your individual device, the sync will never work correctly.
Read these and see if they help:
