No. That is not the way Outlook works. If you have the "Send immediately"
option selected for an account configured as a LAN connection, you will not
have to hit Send/Receive to send it unless you have inadvertently set your
profile to "Work Offline." Look in your File menu to make sure you didn't do
that.
