From the documentation on RIM's Website here

Real-time based delivery
  1. A new email message arrives in the subscriber's email account from the internet.
  2. The account notifies the BlackBerry Internet Service that a new email message has arrived
  3. The Blackberry Internet Service download the email message.
  4. The Blackberry Internet Service sends the message to the subscriber's BlackBerry device or Blackberry -enabled device over a wireless network.
  5. The aporximate delivery is in seconds.

This sounds new to me and different from simply fowarding the email from her account which was my first thought.
