When you try sending a test message without entering the password it will fail, but the message will be in the email queue and get sent when it tries again using the saved credentials.
Though the password field shows as blank in the UI, the password you saved previously is still saved.

Ok, it emailed me saying the system is shutting down.
But what is bizarre is when I sent a test email without a password and it failed, I still got an email saying the test had failed lol
