The 'on my computer' folder are locally stored mail folders. These are used
for POP mail and also for any mail that you want permanently stored on the
local computer, rather than the exchange (or IMAP) server.
The 'truth database' is a part of the internal workings of the system
synchronisation function - all 'iSync' devices read from and write to the
truth database - it contains the definitive version of the data being
transferred between different devices. If the Blackberry is syncing through
the Apple iSync system, it will be invisibly writing to and reading from
this database.
