One BES account per handheld. No way around that restriction, but you can use up to 10 POP3/IMAP accounts with that single BES one. Perhaps the user could access the second account via OWA?

I was getting an Exchange Server (non-BES) on my BlackBerry from work via OWA and the email was indeed instant push. No sub-folders, but my inbox was available and I could also send from that account. Otherwise you're stuck with forwarding to a POP3/IMAP account like your user has been doing.

I would council that user to streamline his accounts and use only one domain on BES. It's a work habit thing, not so much a tech issue. It can be a tough sell, especially when the user might be a non-tech savvy exec. They hate to be told "no". But sometimes that's the only answer.
