 From the contact list, click on Edit -> Accounts, that will bring up a 
list of the accounts you've set up. All you need to do then is double 
click on the "New Jabber Account" etc and change its description.

To bring up the buddy list, I click on the envelop icon in the 
notification/indicator area in the top right of the screen. That lists 
Empathy & Evolution mail, just select Empathy and that brings the 
contact list for me. Sometimes I do have to do that twice when I've just 
started the computer up.
