Hi Muhammad,

You are right that you cannot unmount the home directory when you are logged into the system.

I'll refrase the steps:
 - change the mount point of the home-directory to (for example) /differenthome (as root in the /etc/fstab and/or /etc/mnttab)
 - remove the old mount point of the home-directory (rm /home)
 - create the new mount point (mkdir /differenthome)
 - create a symlink (ln -s /differenthome /home)
 - logout and login again
 - start empathy, add accounts
 - logout and login again
 - start empathy, the accounts are gone

Kind Regards,
Marco van der Heide
