There are two CreateMessage procedures in the SMTP Mail codenit, each one with different parameters. It’s called overloading, you can read about that here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/developer/methods/devenv-overload-method. The system knows which one you want to use because of the parameters that you are using. You need to change the call to use the parameters of the new version of that function.

Here is the obsolete signature:

procedure CreateMessage(FromName: Text; FromAddress: Text; Recipient: Text; Subject: Text; Body: Text; HtmlFormatted: Boolean)

And here is the new one:

procedure CreateMessage(FromName: Text; FromAddress: Text; Recipients: List of [Text]; Subject: Text; Body: Text)
