Upgraded from 12.04 where I was using sipe pluging, my account kept working after upgrade, though I could not actually see it in my online accounts. I had to change sipe account's password, so now I'm buggered, since there is no way I can update my account settings.
It's definitely bug. My existing account turned after upgrade to 12.10 into zombie, can't delete it, can't update it, it's just there nagging about wrong credentials.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070377 Title: Empathy change to Online Accounts no longer supports SIPE Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Incomplete Status in Telepathy Haze: New Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Many of us use SIPE as way a way to use Microsoft Communicator/Lync in order to IM with workplaces. Empathy used to allow for SIPE connections through the pidgin-sipe package but since I switched to 12.10 and "online accounts" functionality, I can no longer find a way to do so. While I can still use SIPE in pidgin, pidgin no longer integrates into the Unity notification system. In either case, it means that I no longer get notifications when people at work IM me. As such, the new version of Ubuntu has greatly diminished my ability to use Linux at my workplace. A way to use SIPE (or any previously supported account type not supported by Online Accounts) in Empathy -- even if it requires a non --pretty command line/config change -- would be very welcome.
