Description
I just tried the guest app on Nextcloud 19 and had a miss configured email setting.
After I click on the "invite user" button the popup stays open but without any error message that the mail couldn't be send. In all other areas, e.g. the user management, I get an error message when re-sending the welcome mail failed but the guest app just does nothing.
Even worse, the user is still created. This means that you can't try again to invite them when the email problem is fixed (could be also a email server which is temporarily offline). I would expect that a error message is shown and the will guest user not be created and/or deleted again so that the user has a chance to re-try.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the guest invitation flow on Nextcloud 19 with a misconfigured email setting, then trace what happens after clicking “invite user.” Done means the failed email produces an error message and the guest user is not left unable to retry, either by avoiding creation or removing it after failure.
