when syncing my blackberry, my past year of calendar items was deleted from
my Outlook (on the desktop). How can I get them back?

Restore them fro your most recent backup.

To prevent it from happening again, configure your Blackberry's calendar to
keep events forever. IN Outlook, make sure autoarchive is disabled for the
Calendar folder.

I can't reproduce this with my Windows Mobile device. When I dismiss
something on my device, all that happens is that the reminder gets dismissed
and I won't be reminded again. However, I don't use WMDC, I use ActiveSync,
and my Windows Mobile device runs Windows Mobile 2003, so it's a bit older.
Also, I always allow changes on either the handheld or the PC to affect the
other device.

I know there are sync issues with certain versions of Windows Mobile and the
sync software needed to connect it with Outlook, but I don't know of a
definitive fix. If what you describe were to happen to me, I'd back up the
PDA and Outlook's data file and then make a new partnership.
