Did you check the box to "Synchronize All Items in Inbox folder"?

Hmm Still No luck:

Items Syncronized =0, Estimate Messages =5,

I believe that the next step you should take is to recreate the activesync virtual directory.  Here is a link on how to accomplish this...

Nothing even after recreatingthe VD's. But one interesting thing happened- I rebooted the server and mail got downloaded to the cellphone immediately. But after than I couldn't download the mail again. So it worked only when I rebooted. Now it is not working again.

Just some more Info: I justnticed Couple of 3033 event ID warnings in he evetviewer.
