Plus add OTR to the conversation and you got a rock solid IM solution
that I would like much more to use on my mobile than WhatsApp or
Telegram. Different XEP coverage by some clients can be a pain, but that
should be not a reason not to try to get this done for Ubuntu Touch.
People started hating Skype, so some of them might get interested in
Jabber again.

Title:
  Support for XMPP

Bug description:
  Hi All,

  basically there are three things that block me to move to Ubuntu
  Touch. A missing spotify app (already in developement :) ), a missing
  mail app (planned for 14.04 :)  ) and finally a missing IM app --
  especially for XMPP.

  Thusly, I propose adding support for XMPP to the messaging-app. It
  already uses telepathy so we should be able to add this functionality.
  I would also be willing to work on this if somebody points me out
  where to start.

  I guess we would have to break this down into several work packages:
  setting up accounts, online/offline handling of friends, choosing
  protocols when composing a message etc. But first I would like to get
  some feedback if you would be okay with such a feature. Maybe it is
  already planned?
