strip space from hostname (761 bytes, patch)

Description Ritesh Khadgaray ( irc:ritz) 2008-05-16 15:44:24 UTC 
Evolution does not strip out leading or trailing space from host name in account setting. As a result, when evolution tries to fetch email, Evolution fails to do so.

 it is safe to assume that white space would never be part of a host name. url setting as saved by evolution as seen from gconf key account setting
