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

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.
