Empathy doesn't allow to create Jabber accounts with only one symbol between "@" and "."

[Konstantin Molchanov]

Trying to create a Jabber account "[e-mail]". Continue button is disabled, if I add another symbol between "@" and ".", e.g. "<email address hidden>", the button is enabled, but the restriction is pointless for I need the first one and totally don't need the latter.

The same thing happens if one creates an account and then tries to edit it in the described way. See screenshot.

This is a very serious issue here, it literally makes the program useless for I can't use the only account I need. The restriction is pointless!

My account name in the internal jabber of my work is "aldo@hostname". It used to work in previous releases. In 11.10, I had to add ".company.com" to it to be able to create the account in Empathy. This regex is too restrictive.
