Muhammad, you didn't read the bug correctly, Empathy uses the proxy. The
problem is that you may not want it to use the proxy although you want
the other network clients to. Here is the usecase (see also comment #3):

we have a proxy to access the internet, but use an internal chat server
for our messaging. So if Empathy can't be told to not use the proxy I
can't connect to the internal chat server, since it tries to use the
proxy which isn't to be used for internal communications. In Pidgin, you
can tell it to not use the proxy, thus Pidgin works in my usecase but
Empathy doesn't.

Title:
  empathy uses proxy when it shouldn't

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  Empathy is trying to connect to the Windows Live (MSN) service through
  the proxy, but the system proxy settings only apply to HTTP and FTP.
  Other applications respect this, but Empathy is trying to tunnel port
  1863 (MSNP) through Squid.  It therefore fails.

  There is no way to set proxy settings within the app and adding
  messenger.hotmail.com to the ignore hosts makes no difference
  whatsoever.
