Do you use MS Exchange as a email server? Or is your email service provided by your ISP or some other provider?

As Bobblehead mentioned, it's not likely going to be your wireless network, but more a difference in which server it uses to send email out on. If it's an exchange server, chances are you can't use Outlook to send email from outside your office network (unless you get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection setup.

Now if it's a POP3/SMTP account, there shouldn't be any problem as long as the servers are visible to your laptop both at work and at home.
