"Improve visibility of the "test email configuration" link"

Description
Having an option to test the email server settings via redmine web interface would be great. Just a "send test mail" button with an additional input field for an email address that should recieve a test mail would help.

There is already a "Send a test email" link at the bottom of the page which will send a test email to the logged admin user.

Thanks for this hint, I think I was blind. Maybe I expected a button and did not see the link...

I wondered why there wasn't a test email feature, found people online mentioning it, looked for it on the page, didn't see it, found this issue and read the comments, looked carefully at the bottom of the page and finally saw it.
It seems the combination of its understated design and its position in the lower right of the page – outside the F-shaped pattern – can make the link almost invisible, even to people looking for it.
I suggest moving it to the left, like the way 'Preview' is next to 'Submit' when updating an issue.

We should change the title of this ticket to "Improve visibility of the "test email configuration" link"
Because I also think that the small improvement Daniel Biddle wrote could help many users I'm reopening this ticket.
Could someone rename this ticket and re-think if this small improvement is possible?

Done.

I changed the view slightly.
I can't provide a patch currently (Tortoise just generate a buggy diff). The difference is slightly different. Just change order of testlink and save button and change two CSS settings.
source:/trunk/app/views/settings/_notifications.html.erb
Change line 32 to 36 to this:
<%= submit_tag l(:button_save) %>
<div style="float:left;margin:5px 0 0 10px;">
<%= link_to l(:label_send_test_email), :controller => 'admin', :action => 'test_email' %>
</div>
