Just to add some context on the status quo:
What's working:
 - Telepathy framework, just make sure you have telepathy-gabble installed for XMPP support
 - You can manually add an account using mc-tool
 - You can use mc-tool to set the account online/offline
 - You can receive messages, BUT you only see them in notification and the message overview
What's missing/not working:
 - Messaging app needs work to understand more than text messages coming through telepathy from oFono
 - You can't reply to messages. Seems there is some logic that breaks that as it was written only with SMS based text messaging in mind.
 - Accounts plugin needs to be created to have a UI for managing the XMPP account(s)

JFTR: This actually applies also to all(?) other telepathy (and by
extension through haze also libpurple) messaging protocols like SIPe(MS
Lync/OCS), ICQ, GaduGadu, SIP/SIMPLE, …

Title:
  Support for XMPP

Status in “messaging-app” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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?
