Empathy is a client built on the Telepathy messaging framework. However,
|
|
|
c4329fa |
without a proper backend (connection manager) installed, it is essentially
|
|
|
c4329fa |
useless.

XMPP, as a standardized and unencumbered protocol, is supported by default
|
|
|
c4329fa |
through the Gabble (Jabber and GoogleTalk) and Salut (link-local) connection

managers.

Support for AIM/ICQ, MSN, Gadu-Gadu, Groupwise, QQ, and Yahoo! are all provided
|
|
|
ea2ee62 |
by Haze (installed by default with Empathy).

However, more are available in Fedora which implement other protocols available
|
|
|
ea2ee62 |
for Empathy. They are as follows, listed by their package name:
|
|
|
c4329fa |
|
|
|
c4329fa |
* telepathy-butterfly: MSN
|
|
|
c4329fa |
* telepathy-idle: IRC
|

If you wish to us any of these protocols with Empathy, you will need to
|
|
|
c4329fa |
install the appropriate package for the connection manager and configure
|
|
|
c4329fa |
the account through Empathy's "Accounts" dialog.
