One User Cannot Send E-mails via Outlook or Webmail but Others can

Question

I have a laptop running Windows 11 (22H2). The user assigned to the laptop has stated that they cannot send e-mails with attachments over 80KB via Outlook, Gmail or our hosted e-mail web portal. The e-mail just stays in the outbox. I verified that the user's e-mail account can send e-mails with large attachments from other computers. I logged onto the laptop in question as a different user and have no issues sending e-mails with large attachments. I have checked everything I could think of on the user account having the issue but I am unable to resolve the issue. Anyone have any ideas?
