Yes, I had problems for a few days using Empathy. I resorted to trying
Microsoft's Messenger on Windows; it kept saying that I needed to accept
the term and conditions, and it sent me to a site which was unavailable.
After Googling, I found many suggestions that you need to login to
live.com and accept the terms of service (TOS) when propted. However, I
never got prompted when doing this, and ended up setting up a new
account - which then worked OK.
Funny thing, when I logged in to my old Live account the next day, in
order to delete it, I was then prompted to accept the TOS. Which then
made my old account work again. Grrrr.
I note the the TOS say you can't use unapproved third party IM
clients. ;-)
