Jabber accounts not working on messages app

Jabber accounts do not work on messages app since I upgraded to El Capitan. I have verified this with all my coworkers who use jabber. Is there a fix coming soon?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Hi,


I have issues with Google since Yosemite.

My other Jabber account don't work as the server is no longer in use.

Not a complete list http://www.jabberes.org/servers/ but pink lines are Off line servers.


In Messages > Preferences > Accounts what does the Server Settings pane tell you ?

Is it supposed to be SSL (port 5223) or not (port 5222) ?

What does the server info say on the web ? (I.e. does the particular server have a web site and a help page that might tell you ports and other info)

hi,


At this point I have to say I don't have an answer.


It could be the app. (it is listed with a different number to Yosemite's version)

It could be an OS/ Server connection issue. That could be the level of Encryption used or allowed in SSL connections.

See the last section on this Article http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/09/os-x-10-11-el-capitan-the-ars-technica-revi ew/11/#h1


As a test will the server allow NON SSL (port 5222 should show up) connections ?
