hello! back in my days of 13.10, after some reinstalls, i managed to connect to all my acconts, yahoo, gmail, facebook. now, in 14.04, i have had problems with gmail, it tried to connect but after awile, it requires authorization. in this moment, it seems that it work okay. but for how long? now, as a general talking, my opinion is that empathy is not a reliable IM client. the problem seems to be not in empathy itself but in integration of empathy in ubuntu accounts. this part of ubuntu, i mean ubuntu accounts and empathy must be investigated. if you need some further info, i will be happy to help you!
