The thing is that I really want a solution that I can self-host.  I
don't want to use any public servers for chat or mail.  I have my
android device set up to use Zarafa groupware (GPL software) through
activesync and Xabber against ejabberd.

The only alternative would be something like tox (peer to peer) but that
won't be mobile friendly any time soon if ever.

BTW, Google still has jabber running AFAIK, I use some people's gmail to
connect through my own jabber id.

Title:
  Support for XMPP

Status in messaging-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

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?
