Clicking on the "Account settings" button or On the menu or pressing F4 does not do anything.

Thank you for your bug report, do you have unity-control-center and unity-control-center-signon installed?

If no online accounts are present then opening Empathy opens the System Settings at the Online Acoounts tab. After adding an account Empathy connects and works normally.
If any online accounts have already been set up Empathy does not connect or recognise any of them, nor connects to any new accounts or deleted/reconnected accounts.

Tried deleting ~/.config/libaccounts-glib contents and/or uninstalling/reinstalling unity-control-center-signon. Nothing worked

Using Pidgin :-/
