This worked for my YM account. Empathy had it configured to use port 5050. I changed it to 23.
It could have been a work firewall issue. Apparently, valid choices include 20, 23, 25, 80, 119, 5050, 8001, and 8002. Incidentally, I saw exactly the same behavior in Pidgin. http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2008/11/configuring-pidgin-behind- firewall/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891811 Title: Yahoo account fails to login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/891811/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
