#7051: Settings > Mail Converter: unsufficient input checks leads to bad,
immutable db records

 I did not check whether this affects other forms as well.

 Steps to reproduce:

   * In "Settings > Mail Converter", add a new mailbox,
   * As "Scanner Name" add something that contains at least one dot (".")
 or an at ("@") (I guess other characters will trigger this as well)
   * Add valid data for the other fields, so that the mailbox test will
 succeed Save

 Now you end up with an empty entry that cannot be edited or deleted. If
 you look into the database, the record has been added and has all valid
 data but the "scannername" field is empty.

 Suggested solution:
   * Improve input checking to only allow valid chars
 OR
   * Make all kinds of characters being processed properly

 on #vtiger someone said that he swa this error on otherplaces as well.
