I see the same problem in telepathy-kde from the Telepathy KDE PPA (https://launchpad.net/~telepathy-kde/+archive/ppa). SIPE/Office Communicator protocol works fine in Pidgin, but Telepathy is unable to connect with the same connection data.
So it seems the problem is not in empathy, but somewhere in the underlying telepathy framework. -- 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/884628 Title: Cannot login using SIPE, working in pidgin though Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I'm using pidgin, but want to switch to empathy. Every single chat account with the exception of my SIPE account at work is working flawlessly. I cannot (as well as two other colleagues) get it to work. With the same settings, empathy will hang during the "connecting..." stage. There's no log, no error messages. How do I go about debugging this?
