MSN accounts configured via gnome-online-accounts use telepathy-gabble, not telepathy-haze. What version of telepathy-gabble do you have? There is a known bug using MSN/WLM with versions less than 0.16.1-1 (http://bugs.debian.org/677511) so please ensure that you have telepathy-gabble 0.16.1-1 or later. There have been other problems connecting to MSN/WLM using Gabble (some of which were the server's fault). If 0.16.1-1 does not work, a Gabble debug log (see <https://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Debugging>) would be useful. If MSN/WLM via XMPP is not yet stable enough, there is a workaround: remove the gnome-online-accounts account, and create one through the Empathy "Accounts" UI instead. That will use telepathy-haze and MSNP, rather than telepathy-gabble and XMPP. Other pkg-telepathy maintainers: are we confident that Gabble 0.16.x can be made to connect to MSN reliably, and can be kept reliable for the stable lifetime of Debian wheezy, approximately 2 years? (Xavier seems to be the main upstream advocate for using MSN via Gabble rather than Haze). If not, we should ask pkg-gnome to disable creation of MSN accounts in g-o-a for wheezy, which would mean Empathy users will use telepathy-haze for new MSN accounts. > Justification: breaks unrelated software Empathy, gnome-online-accounts and telepathy-gabble are not unrelated.
