I have written an e-mail and saved it in Outlook. However I would like it to
send at a specific point in the future when I will not be logged on to action
it manually. Is this possible and if so how?

Yes. Look in Options - Do not deliver before

I always thought that this option only applies when connected to Exchange
Server?

But surely it can only work in a non-exchange environment if you have a 24/7
connection to the internet with Outlook up and running 24/7?

It works in Outlook when Outlook is open just as Rules etc require Outlook
to be open and the simple operation of sending email requires the Outlook
process open.
Delayed delivery is not an Exchange specific feature.

Sometimes my e-mail does not deliver when configured to do so...the following
KB article describes a post SP3 hotfix to correct this problem but how do I
obtain it without paying for a support request...
