Do they redeposit in your account? Do they go to the great expired miles place in the sky? If they do return, is the calendar reset?
Better to look or ask on the M & M forum http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/lufth...iles-more-495/ LH M&M miles have a 3 year hard expiry according to the wiki

I do not know the answer for M & M, but typically a booking/reservation followed by cancellation does not reset expiration. It if did it would be too easy to keep miles from expiry.
