mail address to the previous value. Instead, the process flow goes back to
Special:Preferences
Suggestions
===========
i) show the user an info message (that no confirmation mail has been sent
because the mail address was not sent) -- or --
ii) to go again trough the full confirmation procedure including sending an
confirmation mail.
