Hello, SailfishOS 1.1.9.28 (Eineheminlampi) (armv7hl): after managing XMPP accounts using mc-tool (mc-tool remove some-old-account), the lipstick account status control does not realise any newly defined accounts. -- How to fix?
Also, is there any detailed documentation of xmpp account configuration?
TIA, Oliver

I had a similar problem, readded my xmpp-account but it was not visible in the available system settings. Thing was, that i added the wrong password and changed it after the notification, that some acount needs updating. I am not shure, wheter i added the wrong password again and did not get a notification, or it was simply not shown in the gui.
To get the xmpp working, I had to add the account with the right vredentials at the creation, after that, it worked. Maybe you need to check the ignore-ssh-failure checkbox.

What do you mean by "the lipstick account status control"? The part that's now hidden in the system settings where you can choose between offline/online/away/...? If so, I had a similar issue when you add an account right in the GUI. I'll try to reproduce what I experienced.

Exactly - the menu which was opened by swiping the home-screen inwards from the bottom with Sailfish <1.1.9.28 and which is now entered from the settings menu. With defined XMPP account controls it is used to set the user status.
The problem here is that a defined account does not show up in this control menu, rather than a message that recommends to define an account.
Background: I am fiddling around to get my Jolla corresponding with a private Ejabberd XMPP server I am administering. Used mc-tool to set ssl options. By the way, 'mc-tool dump' showed an old xmpp entry no longer in use (not visible in the accounts-screen). Removed that one - maybe this has confused the account-controls manager?
Best, Oliver

Only a few days ago I managed to create an XMPP account in the GUI (system settings > accounts) that showed up with all information I had entered in the list of active accounts, but did not show in the panel you mention. There was no error message, no hint on what to do, nothing. I solved it by deleting the whole thing and re-adding it, and I'm pretty certain that at some time along the way I did something different when adding the account than the previous times... but I can't recall.
Anyway, I used mc-tool to inspect the newly added account, and it seemed OK to me even when it did not show up. So I agree with you, I guess there's something wrong here.
I'm gonna check this as soon as I have time for it to see what exactly made the difference between an account that worked and one that didn't.
