They will probably click "deny", and then not be allowed to connect to the server. Problem solved!

"Solved" unless they don't read it or don't remember it.

All you've solved is the ability for IT to say "told you so". You haven't solved the careless didn't-read-it end user from losing their data and thinking their phone is faulty.

That solves nothing. You'd then have to buy company blackberries (probably for the best) as no one would be able to use corporate email on their home phones.
