Please log in for more thread options No. Since you deleted those contacts, and it would have happened whether
you deleted them on the PPC or the PC end, the synchronization system
concluded that, hey, this guy doesn't want those contacts any more, so it
deleted them from the PPC as soon as you connected it. In other words, it
did the same thing it would have done if you were using the phone, got
ticked off at someone you were calling and decided to delete them from your
address book on the phone. As soon as you connected to the PC, the
operation would have been done to the desktop contact database, too.
