Comment 11 for bug 1247216

Just to add some context on the status quo:
What's working:
 - Telepathy framework, just make sure you have telepathy-gabble installed for XMPP support
 - You can manually add an account using mc-tool
 - You can use mc-tool to set the account online/offline
 - You can receive messages, BUT you only see them in notification and the message overview
What's missing/not working:
 - Messaging app needs work to understand more than text messages coming through telepathy from oFono
 - You can't reply to messages. Seems there is some logic that breaks that as it was written only with SMS based text messaging in mind.
 - Accounts plugin needs to be created to have a UI for managing the XMPP account(s)

JFTR: This actually applies also to all(?) other telepathy (and by extension through haze also libpurple) messaging protocols like SIPe(MS Lync/OCS), ICQ, GaduGadu, SIP/SIMPLE, …
