So in other words I would have had to enabled Cached Exchange Mode
(offline folder) before I lost the connectivity.

That's correct.

I just did a search
on *.pst, and found a backup pst that I made on 2/14/2008, can I do

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