Public bug reported:
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.
