Not sending from "outbox" and not sending when address is new -- default account is POP with a remote Exchange that is NOT available.
*
Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bit
MS Office/Outlook - 32 bit
*
- POP3 account is default (.pst)
- Exchange account - Remote Exchange - Cached Exchange Mode (.ost)
Send/Receive group settings does not include the Exchange account.

When, for whatever reason, I am unable to connect or log in to my remote Exchange account:
1) Messages just stay in the "Outbox."
and/or
2) When I try to send a message to an address that I have never sent to before, the message will not send (just stays on the screen) and I get the following message:
"Microsoft Outlook: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
So even though I don't need the Exchange account to send out (default is POP account for receiving/sending), it appears to be trying to use the Exchange account/server for a name lookup, fails, and then stops. This only seems to happen when sending to
new addresses I have never sent to before and are not in my Contacts.
Can I set Outlook to not use or look at the Exchange account when sending out when it is unavailable?
* Thanks.
