           Summary: Yahoo account control automatically truncates
                    @ymail.com, @rocketmail.com, or other yahoo extensions
                    causing inability to connect
           Product: telepathy
           Version: git-latest
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: accounts-kcm
        AssignedTo: kde-telepathy at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lukewolf101010 at gmail.com


Version:           git-latest (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

I had set up my yahoo accounts in kde-telepathy around the time of the release
of kde-telepathy 0.2, I didn't touch the kcm module for account management up
until recently, editing one of my ymail (yahoo) accounts out of curiosity to
see what had changed.  Much to my chagrin it's now automatically cutting off
the @ymail extension, and I imagine all other non- at yahoo.com extensions thus
causing it to be not able to connect, I looked over the bug tracker and this
commit
http://commits.kde.org/telepathy-accounts-kcm/6f9835a0ae589c9065b431b69b3e5961ac5a6dd0
seems to be the cause.  I would imagine that a check for just what extension
the person puts on the end of the address would fix the problem

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
System Settings -> Instant Messaging and Voip -> add or edit a yahoo account ->
try to add in an account with a non- at yahoo.com extension such as @ymail.com

Actual Results:  
Truncates off @ymail.com thus causing connection to the account to fail

Expected Results:  
not cutting off @ymail.com thus allowing the connection to proceed
