empathy inconsistency in accounts manager

[liamdawe]

To quote gnomeuser

The MSN implementation seems to have password first and then account email, breaking consistency with pretty much any other application even game that has a login and seems confusing and strange.

"Oh it gets better than that. It depends on the protocol. GoogleTalk has the familiar user/password but msn via haze has pass/user (and msn via butterfly has user/pass).

I think this kind of consistency problem is a good target for a papercut, it's probably nothing but a one liner to fix."

This is being reported from downstream ubuntu.

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make ubuntu better. This is a wishlist item and is now triaged as it has been pushed upstream.

Haze doesn't have any UI. This is a bug in Empathy; could you report it to bugzilla.gnome.org? Thanks!
