Description

Creating an email connector and selecting the Amazon SES service defaults to the us-east region but we should support users changing the region as others are supported on the SES side. It seems strange to me that once a known service is selected, we do not allow the user to edit it - the default value should be a suggested one but also editable.

To be fair, users can get around this now by either updating the connector, post creation or by using the Other field and typing in the url manually.

Research direction
Investigate the email connector creation UI in Kibana's ResponseOps plugin. The issue references nodemailer's well known services.json where the default region is 'us east'. Locate the React component that renders the service selection and region field. Currently, the region field is disabled after selecting Amazon SES. The goal is to allow users to edit the region. Check if there is an existing region dropdown or input that can be enabled, or if a new component needs to be added. Ensure the change aligns with how other services handle region customization.
