[Bug 993952] [NEW] authentication failed

[MatatTHC]

Public bug reported:

Since the upgrade to precise pangolin I'm unable to connect to ICQ/AIM. 
In the account preferences the message is "Disconnected -- Authentication failed"

I found a forum entry: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1944629

As suggested I tried pidgin: In the original setting it reports: 
"""
You have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. Wait ten minutes and try again. If you continue to try, you will need to wait even longer.
"""

When I disable the client login option as suggested in the forum I get: 
"""
ACCOUNTNR disabled
Unknown reason
"""

But login on the website is possible without problems.
