Found another way of doing this, which fortunately also allows connecting to Google Talk and OVI Chat from firewalled networks.

First modify all the required settings (user/pass) etc as usual. This is required because changing settings via the GUI also resets the changes we're gonna make so we have to make the GUI configuration first.

Now open a shell. If you don't have mc-tool installed then install it using the following command as root:

Code:

apt-get install libmissioncontrol-utils

Now list all available IM accounts using the following command (run mc-tool as the regular user, not root):

Code:

mc-tool list

Your Facebook connection will look like:

Code:

gabble/jabber/<user>_40chat_2efacebook_2ecom0

Google Talk accounts will look like:

Code:

gabble/jabber/<user>_40gmail_2ecom0

(or something similar that include Google's or Gmail's name)
OVI chat accounts will look like:

Code:

gabble/jabber/<user>_40ovi_2ecom0

I'll refer to the whole string as the connection name.

To be able to connect to Facebook chat from a firewalled network run:

Code:

mc-tool update <facebook connection name> uint:port=443

To be able to connect to Google Talk from a firewalled network run:

Code:

mc-tool update <gtalk connection name> uint:port=80

To be able to connect to OVI chat from a firewalled network run:

Code:

mc-tool update <ovi connection name> uint:port=443
mc-tool update <ovi connection name> bool:old-ssl=1
mc-tool update <ovi connection name> bool:ignore-ssl-errors=1

Enjoy!
