Basically, here's what I want to happen.
From 8-5 or so, Outlook downloads my e-mail automatically with
Send/Receive. At 5 or 5:30, when I leave the office, Outlook stops,
and I can check my e-mail through our web interface. The simple
approach is to just close Outlook, but I tend to forget to do that. So
is there a way to set it, either with or without an add-in?

There's no way I know to do what you wish.

Using 3rd party software, such as Sygate, you could schedule your PC so
that it has access to your mail server from 8-5 and then block it's
access after 5;

You could locate "kill" and schedule a task to run %windir%\tasks to
"kill outlook".

Of course, I can leave my e-mail client running at work and still check
it at home. My e-mail clients only check e-mail every 30 mins and they
release the POP3 connection which allows me to do this.
