SMTP email settings are the bane of my existence. Seriously.
You're right on the feedback though. Most of the time, I find that feedback in my server logs. It's not necessarily passed back to the application. I think the main reason for this is that it would be a security vulnerability. If a malicious app knew why it wasn't able to connect, it could brute force more easily.
I also agree with you on the save, then test thing. I'll add that to the bug report.
What server/hosting provider are you using? That's really more @brian 's domain, but I can take a crack at figuring out what's wrong.
