No it does not. It stores outgoing messages in a special local mailbox when 
the user clicks "Send", then it uses SMTP to send the messages in that 
mailbox. i.e., the special mailbox is used as a queue to manage messages 
being sent in the background. If there is no internet connection, or the 
user has disabled the queue, the messages are on hold in that mailbox until 
connectivity comes back or the queue is re-enabled. This is similar in 
functionality to the "outbox" that several other clients have.
