Enhancement - have a "Test'email" button with a feedback dialog

OpenMeetings 1_7_0_r3822

We have our own email server which is running perfectly for dozens of servers, 
software, and IT equipment.  But for the life of me I cannot get OpenMeetings 
to send an email.

It is actually quite trivial to programmatically send an email (we do it in our 
software), but the only message in the log file is:

java.lang.SecurityException: Access to default session denied

with a stack trace.  This does nothing to let me know why OpenMeetings thinks 
the configuration is incorrect.  The mail server is correct, I actually created 
a specific email account for OpenMeetings, I have tried with and without 
StartTLS enabled, but I get the same error eery time.

FWIW, our email servers are Zimbra.

So my enhancement request is for there to be the common "Test email" capability 
in the OpenMeetings configuration.  Run an email send test and let the 
adminstrator know if it was successful or not, and if not what the issue is.

Which version of OpenMeetings are you running?

In case its an UI Bug => Images say more then words! Please attach a
Screen-Shot.

What's your operating system on client and server side?

Is it a problem related to the client/usability or server-side?

Did you have any trace/debug output?
To get the debug output of the client run the software in debug-modus
Debug modus of the client:
http://$RED5-HOME:$RED5-HTTPPORT/xmlcrm/maindebug.lzx.lzr=swf8.swf

for example for your local copy:
http://localhost:5080/openmeetings/maindebug.swf8.swf?lzproxied=solo

or see live example:
http://openmeetings-de:8080/maindebug.swf8.swf?lzproxied=solo

Server side loging:
browser your Red5-Home directory. There's a log-file directory. On linux
boxes you can run red5 using:
nohup ./red5.sh &
and debug output will be written to nohup.out

please attach any debug output to get a patch on time

"Also have you tried googling the same?"  Oh, yeah.  I've written mail
clients.  But there are no SMTP logs for me to look at, or anything else
that gives me momre of a hint.
