Usually when you lose items and are syncing with a handheld device, its
caused by the sync. It's always very risky to delete things on the device
that you don't want deleted from the desktop. Unfortunately, if you don't
have a backup, you probably wont be able to recover them... but look in the
Deleted items folder, just to be sure.

I noticed today that some of my contacts were missing - lots. I haven't
had any strange crashes, errors, etc. and I am a seasoned Outlook user,
though no expert. I sync it with a Dash Smartphone and I have deleted
several tasks lately. The only thing that maybe would explain this is
that when I deleted a category it came up with a warning that I didn't
quite understand that says "Deleting these items will also delete the
associated email messages and contacts...". I don't think this is the
culprit, but I'm a bit paranoid right now. Several of the missing
contacts had no tasks associated with them, or vice versa. Share your
