Personally, we’ve tried most all the Satellite providers.?

Bad weather will kill the signals, and having been born and raised in Chicagoland,

I do remember there being weather. ? :^)

Currently using cellular. It can be a bit slow at high traffic times, but has yet to fail.?

I was ready to apply your fix, even though it seems rather involved, since we have 7 email accounts from 3 providers.

But first I tried a search for "Mac can't send mail after 15.4.1 update” at?perplexity.ai. Part of the answer was:

Open Mail.
Go to Mail > Settings > Composing.
Change Check spelling to Never.
Try sending an email.
Then change Check spelling back to When I Click Send.

Set to Never, emails send OK! ?But the behavior is As I Type. If I return the setting to When I Click Send, the behavior remains As I Type, but the emails won't send.

So, for me, until Apple fixes this, the setting must be Never, but the behavior is?As I Type.

I don’t think they do. DU shows the Air has no orphan mappings.

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.

I can send an email from the clone. And DU shows it has orphan mappings.

Both devices are on latest systems. I already deleted and re-added the accounts when we converted from POP to GoDaddy's IMAP and Microsoft Exchange. 

Oddly, this is "hit and miss."  Works most of the time. Just missed a beat now and then.

Hello Rob

Exchange and IMAP are two very different things.?

I wonder if t is a settings problem om your Mac??

Has it ever worked??

I would delete the account on the MacBook (nothing will be lost!!!!), restart it and then add the account again. When you add the account, make sure you select Exchange (not IMAP) since GoDaddy according to you uses Exchange.

Then test it for a few days and report back.

Another thing: let’s say you receive 10 emails on your iPhone … is it all 10 that don't show on the MacBook or just some of them? Is there a pattern? Specific senders??

:-)

Does this happen consistently across all accounts? That is, do you find that all new email sometimes doesn’t appear on Mac when it does on iPhone? Or is it account-specific?

When was the last time you tried deleting one or more accounts on Mac and re-adding them? Also, what versions of macOS and iOS are you on?

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.

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.
