Administration Joomla! 4.x • Cannot navigate to /administrator page - An error has occurred

When I try to navigate to my /administrator page, I get an error page:

An error has occurred.
2 Could not instantiate mail function.

I do not know when this started occurring. It is a long standing Joomla installation and the last time I successfully logged in was nearly a month ago.

I have had a look in the /logs/error.php and do not see any errors - just 3-4 failed login attempts
