Run DU on the Air and see if it has the orphans mappings. They may have nothing to do with the problem.
Boot the MBP from the 15.4 clone and see if you can send email. And run DU to see if there are orphan mappings.
Just a couple of thoughts,
Jerry

?We can¡¯t send mail with Mail.app after upgrading to 15.4.1 on our Intel MacBook Pro. Worked fine with 15.4. Receive mail OK. We send mail from mac.com (iCloud) and from several accounts on cox.net, which is actually smtp.mail.yahoo.com.
After clicking ¡°Send¡± the icon is greyed out, but nothing happens.
I can open the Drafts folder on our M2 MacBook Air running 15.4 and send any mail there; in fact, I wrote this on our MBP and sent it on the MBA.
Connection Doctor shows Mail is connecting to all servers.
We run SpamSieve so I booted to Safe Boot but no change.
Booted to Recovery Mode and ran First Aid in Disk Utility and received these warnings:
¡
warning: orphan omap mapping found for old 16637723
warning: volumeomap (fs_oid 0xf724e9): 2 orpan mappings found
¡
¡ was found to be corrupt and needs to be repired
¡
Performing deferred repairs
¡
Operation successful.
These warnings appear no matter how many times First Aid is run.
Don¡¯t know if we had these warnings in 15.4, but suspect that we did. Anyway, Apple seems to ignore them, as you can see.
Re-installed the OS from Recovery Mode, but no change.
Have a bootable clone made just before installing 15.4.1, but it would contain the orphan mappings.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
