Possible Workaround
This seems to be working for me on My droid 2. I found it mentioned here but the instructions weren't all that clear.
Step 1:You must be rooted, follow one of the may guides around here, and do it at your own risk. If you don't want to take those risks buy Touchdown from the Market.
Step 2:Find a deodexed EmailGoogle.apk. What I have is from FRG22D that was floating around these forums. That is the email app from the Droid 1, that worked mostly flawlessly. (unfortunately it doesn't have all the security features of the new app, but what good are those if you cant get email)
Step 2a:On your PC, open the .zip from the above link, look in the /system/app/ folder and pull out EmailGoogle.apk.
Step 3:Using Root Explore or Terminal copy EmailGoogle.apk to /system/app/
Step 4: Change permissions to rw-r--r-- Again using terminal or root explorer or whatever.
Step 5:Reboot phone and open the new email app, it is yellow as opposed to the Default Red one.
Step 6: Input your account info and enjoy your corporate account pushing.
Mine has been up for about 2 hours, the legacy email app has synced several times and I have yet to receive a notification on the default program.
Why Motorola screwed this up in the first place... I have no idea. At this point this is, I guess, a proof of concept that the Blur email app has issues, not Android itself. I'd be happy to write a more in depth how too if this ends up working permanently.
