Hi SpiderTech,


I typically have two accounts active at the same time:
  • POP3/SMTP private
  • Exchange professional
Both are configured as described in my Outlook 2010.

When I'm at home, I'm disconnected from my office network.
My normal internet connection is ok, so I'm still able to send/receive mails using POP3. No issue with that.

Only, as stated above, when I try to send a mail through my POP3/SMTP account to a contact to which I didn't send a mail before, Outlook refuses to send the mail. It then seemingly requires a connection to the Exchange server.

That's my real problem: why does Outlook "require" that Exchange connection if I only want to send a mail through SMTP? I have the feeling it tries to update an Exchange based "recently used addresses". I can't find any proof of that and I don't know how to disable it if that would be the cause.

Regards,
Johan
