1) open the Accountmanager
2) open Outgoing server (SMTP)
3) edit a SMTP Entry (for example the username) with a missing/empty "Description"
4) click OK -> changes are not saved

Error message in a debug build:
Error saving smtp server: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000
ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsISmtpServer.description]"  nsresult: "0x8000ffff (
NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/smtpEdi
tOverlay.js :: saveSmtpSettings :: line 147"  data: no]

this patch reverts nsSmtpServer::SetDescription to the way Christian originally
wrote it, by ignoring the return code from ClearPref (which returns an error if
you clear a non existent pref)
