+ <title>Jabber Account Details</title>
+
+ <p>Most Jabber accounts will require only a login ID and a password
+ to connect. For some accounts or on certain types of networks, you
+ may need to enter additional information in the <gui>Advanced</gui>
+ section. Normally, you will not need to use the advanced options
+ below. For general instructions on adding an account, see
+ <link xref="add-account"/>.</p>

+ <title><gui>Encryption required (TLS/SSL)</gui></title>
+ <title><gui>Ignore SSL certificate errors</gui></title>
+ <p>Whenever possible, communication between <app>Empathy</app> and
+ the Jabber server is encrypted. If encrypted communication is not
+ possible, messages may be sent unencrypted. Select <gui>Encryption
+ required</gui> to prevent <app>Empathy</app> from communicating with
+ the Jabber server when encryption is not possible.</p>
+ <p>Some Jabber servers may encrypt data using invalid certificates,
+ or using certificates from unknown authorities. If you trust the
+ server you are connecting to, you can select <gui>Ignore SSL
+ certificate errors</gui> to allow encrypted communication with
+ invalid certificates.</p>

+ <title><gui>Priority</gui></title>
+ <p>If you have multiple applications (for instance, on separate computers)
+ connected to your account at the same time, you can set a resource to
+ uniquely identify each one. By default, <app>Empathy</app> will use
+ <input>Telepathy</input> as the resource.</p>
+ <p>You can set the priority to specify which application should receive
+ incoming messages from your contacts. New messages will be sent to the
+ application with the highest priority.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <title><gui>Override server settings</gui></title>
+ <p><app>Empathy</app> will use default settings to connect to the
+ Jabber server based on your login ID. For some Jabber servers, you
+ will need to enter custom server settings manually. These settings
+ should be provided for you by your Jabber provider.</p>
