Comment 45 for bug 506647

Empathy is working for me again, but I don't think this means that the bug has been resolved, so I am reopening the ticket to make sure that my comment is addressed. I'm perfectly fine if you disagree with me and they way you "address" my comment is by closing the ticket again; I just want to make sure that the issues I am raising here are known to the maintainer of the package.

When empathy was failing on Fedora 12, the official AIM was working fine on Windows, and pidgin worked when I disabled clientlogin. Now, while it may be true that AOL did something to their servers to make empathy start working again, if there is a time during which other clients work and empathy didn't, then that strikes me as a bug in empathy, regardless of whether that time passed. It has happened several times now, and I assume will continue to happen in the future, so whatever the problem with the servers is, empathy needs to be fixed to cope with it.
