GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 601568
imported Jabber account always shows as 'offline'
Last modified: 2009-12-18 17:54:37 UTC
After setting up my (gmx) Jabber account Empathy imported one contact. But this contact always shows as 'offline'. This is an other jabber contact of my own, so I checked going online,... nothing. But it is possible to send and receive messages to and from this contact. An other contact I added after the empathy setup (in empathy) works well. After I deleted and added the non-working contact, everything is ok. Imho it has something to do with authorization. Maybe it would help to add a "send authorization request" menu item to the contacts. (like I know from miranda-im under Windows.)
Displaying contacts from the 'stored' list should fix this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 539765 ***
