Description bluemchen.blau 2011-08-04 11:50:03 UTC 
Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric)
Empathy 3.1.4

I'm unable to login to my yahoo-account, because Empathy wouldn't let me enter my correct login-name, which is "my.name@rocketmail.com"!
The login work on various Chat-Clients.

Not even editing the config files (can't remember, where they are located) had helped.

The sign-in-button is greyed out as soon as I set the "@" into the entry-box.

How did you end up with such Yahoo ID?

See http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_ACCT&id=SLN2056 :

"reate a user name with at least 4 characters but no longer than 32 characters. The user name must start with a letter. Your user name can contain letters, numbers, and one dot (.)."

Does that matter, how the ID came? Btw. I like that ID! Who want's a @yahoo.de?

Anyway, the ID is valid at 
- yahoo-webpage,
- pidgin,
- adroid-client (IMO),
- Symbian-Client, 
etc. and as far as I remember did work in older versions of empathy (Ubuntu 10.04).
AND the username contains 4 letters and 6 letters separated by one dot. And all that (as told above) ...@rocketmail.com.

Question is now: How do I apply this patch? I'm not a pro.
Comment 9 Guillaume Desmottes 2011-08-15 06:59:57 UTC 
Best to wait that your distribution upgrades to GNOME 3.2 then.
