Event trapping for Automatic Synchronizing

I know I can catch an event if a send recieve is triggered by a user
when using Outlook with Exchange. Sue Mosher was kind enough to help
me out with that. The problem is outlook performs these automatic
sysncronizing every so often which cannot be trapped using the
SyncObject. During the auto sync's the changeItem event is fired for
items in the task folder that have not been changed by the user. I
would like to only perform the event if the item has indeed been
changed by the user. Any ideas how I can do this?
 
If you have manually defined any Send/Receive groups, you can hookup a
SyncObject to detect when the Send/Receive action for that group is being
fired, either automatically or manually. However, as you know you cannot
trap the default Send/Receive for the e-mail account itself (they are
differentiated by different menu groupings in the Send/Receive menu).

I am not getting any Item_Change events fired in my Inbox between SyncStart
and SyncEnd though; just Item_Add is fired if a new message is delivered.

I can't see how Item_Change would be fired by a sync. Maybe only in an
Exchange environment, where a local item is updated due to a conflict???
