Ubuntu – How to integrate Pidgin with Ubuntu “Online Accounts” (14.04)

14.04pidgin

The title says it all. How can I integrate Pidgin with the default "Online Accounts" that comes with Ubuntu 14.04, just like Empathy does.

Pidgin already shows up in the "envelop" icon in the menu bar, but I still need to configure my accounts in Pidgin, I want to use the ones that I already configured in "Online Accounts".

Best Answer

Currently there is no way to do so without or with plug-ins. Pidgin doesn't communicate with any external configuration and authentication data providers and uses its own database only.
