Since my PIM data in WM2003SE got messed up, I thought that

But... it seems my PC got synced to the (empty) PPC, instead of the
other way round, leaving them both empty now!

Is there any way to achieve what I want (without a hard PPC reset)?


Restore the synchronization file from a recent PC backup.


Yep, unless your PC PIM app has a "trash can."

I'm not familiar with Essential PIM, but last time I made that same
mistake (erasing the PPC data thinking it'd "refresh" at next sync!) I
was using Outlook, so I just had to pull the data out of Outlook's
"Deleted Items" folder and back into my Contacts and Calendar and
resync.


That isn't the problem, ofcourse I have backups of the data on PC. But
everytime the same thing happens. Don't know how to get the data on PPC.

That's between you and Essential PIM, unfortunately. By default, PPCs
only sync with Outlook. A brief look at EPIM's site says you need a
"Pro" version to sync with PPCs.



My version op essentialpim (3.74) syncs with my PPC, as I have been doing
succesfully before I had problems.
It also seems to sync with Outlook, but I don't use Outlook. The very reason
I use essentialpim is because I hate Outlook.




Having said that, there's another option- you could try Google Mobile
Sync as an intermediary. EPIM claims it syncs with Google's cloud, then
you set up a cloud sync on the device, by adding Google as an Exchange
Server in Activesync (on the device.) server name is m.google.com,
username is your entire GMail address, and domain is "google" (lowercase,
no quotes.)

In theory... it would be handy if there was such a thing as "one way
sync" option, but I suppose this only exist in my imagination...

It exists in Funambol, a third-party sync app I used to use. AOL uses it
for their free "AOL Sync" cloud sync product (which EPIM is also
compatible with.)



Perhaps I'll check out the above when I have time again. I have no
experience with those services.
Anyway, today I worked on your suggestion from your other reply, removing
the partnership from PC and making a new one. After this I tried an
essentialpim sync again, but to no avail. The same effect over and over
again: it keeps emptying my PC instead of filling my PPC... :-((
