I had set up my home PC Outlook to synchronize with my companies
exchange server. Well I quit my job and the owner of the company was
an a** about it and did not accept my 2 weeks resignation and
immediately removed me from the network. Consequently I cannot Log
into Outlook at home anymore because I cannot authenticate back with
the exchange server.

How can get into Outlook at home? If I have to I do have the contacts
all on my smartphone but I wanted to get back into the Outlook
Contacts and old email. Aren't they stored locally as well on download
and sync?

You can get into Outlook by creating a new profile. You can't see the
content of your Exchange mailbox though.

Delete current Outlook profile. Create a new one.

You can't, if the contacts and old email are stored on Exchange mailbox
(there are exceptions, see below).
Aren't they stored locally as well on download

Only if you enable Cached Exchange Mode (offline folder)
- OR -
If you use Personal Folder (PST) to download content of Exchange mailbox to
your PC
 
So in other words I would have had to enabled Cached Exchange Mode
(offline folder) before I lost the connectivity. I just did a search
on *.pst, and found a backup pst that I made on 2/14/2008, can I do
anything with it?

That old mail belongs to your old employer, since you accumulated it while
working for them. Did you try to select Work Offline?
 
Thanks and I understand that its technically "their" email but there
are items I could certainly use as a reference for items "I" reseached
(MS Dynamic. I have not been able to even get Outlook to open at all
using that specific profile.

That's correct.

Open it (Outlook - File - Open - Outlook Data File). Take a look what's in
it.
