If the user is working online, mailbox and PF favorites automatically sync
in the background. The only way I have been able to produce the scenario you
describe is if User 1 is working offline and using Send/Receive to sync.
Note that "working online/offline" is not the same as being
connected/disconnected from the network. It is possible to be connected to
the network but working offline.
