  Hello all. I'm trying to setup my Windows Live account (@outlook.com) in
  Empathy. It used to work OK on Ubuntu 12.04.4 64 bits. However, in 14.04
  it doesn't works. When I add an account, it asks me for my username and
  password, I give it permissions to access my data, and the account is
  shown OK on the "Online accounts" window. However, when I go Online,
  Empathy shows a wheel in the middle, just turning around, but nothing
  else happens. After a while, it gives me a red error message
  "xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx Network error"
  
  I have the debug in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/8vQdM4Pg
  
  Thanks!
