Summary	Email Setting Form has required fields that aren't required
Description	users/admin.php?view=email AFAIK PHPMailer will try to use PHP mail() if SMTP isn't set... yet the UserSPice's Email Server Settings page has no mention of this and requires that the SMTP Server, SMTP Port, Email Login/Username and Email Password fields are completed. I tested these with garbage and sent a test email, which worked. Ideally perhaps a "send email using SMTP" option which, when set to "No", would make it OK to have these fields left blank? x users/admin.php?view=email AFAIK PHPMailer will try to use PHP mail() if SMTP isn't set... yet the UserSPice's Email Server Settings page has no mention of this and requires that the SMTP Server, SMTP Port, Email Login/Username and Email Password fields are completed.

Since this page is admin only, the admin can fill out whatever fields they want and use this info in the db however they want. It could also be useful for other plugins.
