apologies for not replying though ive managed to find out what has happened. After logging onto my msn account on a windows computer i have found that Empathy had deleted all of the contacts. to confirm this i tried other im messaging programs through software centre. By logging onto a windows messenger through windows i managed to gain all my contacts again through the privacy blocked page.
I would still like to find out why this came about, and have noticed through google search other people have had the same problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726245 Title: Empathy contact list -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
