I concur with saepia and elPraga. It is painful to see that a half-done
SIP program like Empathy made it into Ubuntu (no contacts = absolutely
useless in practice), replacing a working piece of software like Ekiga.

Please add this feature ASAP. On a side note, I don't quite understand
why contacts can only be stored if the plugin supports them. Contact
information is quite universal (see GNOME Contacts for example) and
should be stored by Empathy directly IMO.

Title:
  SIP/Ekiga accounts don't store contacts

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  I'd like to be able to store some contact details for other users of
  Ekiga using Empathy. But the Add Contact dialog silently accepts my
  input but then doesn't show up the contact in my contacts list, even
  when I activate 'Show offline users'.

  Either it should be impossible to add SIP contacts, or else the bug
  should be fixed and the contacts stored and displayed.
