Description of problem: can't connect to Windows Live XMPP. Should be related to «XMPP: Upcoming Breaking Change to Messenger XMPP Service» in http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/messengerconnect/thread/5a0ca19f-46d5-4c23-9921-8b032d562c2e . Citation: "Starting with the March 2012 release, all XMPP apps connecting to xmpp.messenger.live.com must handle the defined stream error condition "see-other-host" " [credits to http://blogs.gnome.org/xclaesse/2011/12/23/connect-msn-with-xmpp-on-ubuntu-oneiric-11-10/ 's comment by "Tom" which pointed me the server behaviour change] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): telepathy-gabble-0.16.0-1.fc17.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create account *using Gnome's Online Accounts* 2. enable chat on created account (on by default) 3. open Empathy, wait for it to attempt to connect Actual results: "Connection error" message; logs on "Additional info". Expected results: Connection successful, loads contacts. Additional info: log in http://pastebin.com/VpBZpg9H (expires ~May 18) Workaround to use Windows Live [for anyone else reading and wanting to use Windows Live]: use Pidgin or use Empathy to add the account without using "online-accounts"; such will use libpurple with old Windows Live protocol which works.
Will discuss it further in https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45915 . Error occurs 95% of the times, I was able to connect three times now without understanding what changed.
Bug above is another issue. Bug added on "External Trackers" is correct one.
