Yes, clicking Cancel doesn't save the changes, that's by design. When 
you click Apply, Geary validates the settings by going off and 
connecting to the server to make sure they are correct. It will only 
save them after the validation successfully completes.

If it's spending a long time doing the validation, then there may be a 
problem with the updated settings. It really shouldn't take very long 
though, maybe 10-15 seconds. If it's taking longer than that, then 
there may be an issue with the process.
