Thank you for your bug report, what sort of account do you try to add using empathy-accounts? You are right that UOA doesn't handle all account types but using the standalone binary should work and not send you back to UOA then...

But these account are not visible in Ubuntu online accounts. If I run "empathy-accounts" and try to add one of this accounts, it simply doesn't work. It asks to grant permission through UOA, but that is obviously not possible as these protocol never been exposed in UOA in the first place. As of now everything works ok through Gnome online account (tested with Ubuntu-Gnome 16.04 & 16.10).
