<title>Import an existing account</title>

accounts from other instant messaging applications. Currently, the only
supported application is <app>Pidgin</app>.</p>

<p>Run <app>Empathy</app> for the first time. An assistant will offer
you a number of options to create new accounts.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select <gui>Yes, import my account details from</gui> and click
<gui>Forward</gui>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Select the check box next to each account you wish to import.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Click <gui style="button">Apply</gui>.</p>

the first-run assistant.</p>
