Empathy used to allow for SIPE connections through the pidgin-sipe package but since I switched to 12.10 and "online accounts" functionality, I can no longer find a way to do so. While I can still use SIPE in pidgin, pidgin no longer integrates into the Unity notification system. In either case, it means that I no longer get notifications when people at work IM me. As such, the new version of Ubuntu has greatly diminished my ability to use Linux at my workplace. A way to use SIPE (or any previously supported account type not supported by Online Accounts) in Empathy -- even if it requires a non --pretty command line/config change -- would be very welcome.
