I cannot connect to MSN. My password has not changed in the past several months and re-entering it in Online Accounts works but empathy can't connect.

Open up online accounts and add your Windows Live account. Next open Empathy. The "Windows Live (MSN)" connection will fail saying "Disconnected - Network Error"

It is probably important to note that if you click "Edit Connection Parameters" it brings up the exact same connection configuration options as a jabber account, with everything at its default settings that you get when setting up a jabber account. The username is set to "messenger.live.com" and the password is blank with "Remember password" unchecked.

confirm again is this problem with MSN or others as well i can see it with the MSN only

[Gustavo Kazuhiko Rodrigues Mitamura (gustavokrm)]

I cannot connect to MSN only.. then, I close Empathy and open it again and it says it could not contact the account manager service. Then all of my accounts are gone..

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

comment from upstream developer
Please upgrade to a recent version first (stable 3.4 series or unstable 3.5
series) - 3.3.92 is an old unstable development version.

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

I`m using a stock 12.04 setup. Empathy version is 3.4.2.3

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

@Bilal. Is the comment of upgrading (#12) directed to me? Because I already said I'm using a stable 3.4 version (#13).

[Bilal Shahid (s9iper1)]

yes you need to upgrade and if the bug is still present than say him that the bug is still present,

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

"Please upgrade to a recent version first (stable 3.4 series or unstable 3.5 series) - 3.3.92 is an old unstable development version."
A I indicated before, I'm using a stable version 3.4.2.3 (stock Ubuntu 12.04), *not* a development version; so as far I can see, that would be OK.

And what is the source of the assumption that I'm using 3.3.93? Is that from the attached log file? In that case, version numbering in that file is wrong I guess.

[markba (mark-baaijens)]

Ah, now I see. The original bug report (not by me) states: Package: empathy 3.3.92-0ubuntu3. I guess, the poster has made the report during beta-testing of 12.04. I repeat that my tests were done on a stable version (3.4.x).
