This is pretty strange. I no longer have 10.1.4, or even 10.1.5, but
the settings were only slightly different than 10.2.
There isn't a send button in the main window unless you customize the
"toolbar" (control-click on the place where it says things like
"delete reply reply all forward" etc.). Whatever buttons you have in
this toolbar for the main viewer window will be the same in the inbox,
outbox, drafts, on my computer, or whatever.
After you click "Compose" new mail (if you can't find it, it's also
the first item under the "File" menu at the top), you will be in a new
message window, with spots for addresses, subject, and body of the
message. There is a "Send" button by default in this window. If there
isn't, you can add one by control-clicking the "toolbar" to customize
it.

I'm curious why you aren't updated to 10.1.5, but I seem some people
feeling that one of the updates was slower than the previous one. I had
no problems, speed or otherwise with 10.1.5 when I was using it. If
Mail is actually messed up, however, I don't think installing an update
will fix it.

I'm assuming that you entered the correct settings under
Preferences->Accounts->Edit. SMTP settings are the ones involved in
sending mail ("outgoing"). If it receives, you have the correct
incoming (POP3 or IMAP) settings.
