xmpp: chatty does not show previously existing 1:1 chats in the message view.
When setting up an xmpp account in chatty, and opening chatty, the list of current 1:1 chats that a user might have from other clients is not shown in chatty. So the message list shows no xmpp 1:1 chats
So a xmpp user in chatty that sets up his xmpp account in chatty and wants to see all his 1:1 has to:
- press the
+
button, select:New message
and the contact in question.
Chatty can see the persons contacts but from 1:1 existing chats but fails to fetch them, (the messages bellow been redacted of PII and are just some examples of a longer list):

But if we use pidgin
on the same device using the same .purple
folder, same dependencies, etc, pidgin can automatically can see the 1:1 chats and fetch them and present the: Buddies list
no problem.
joao@librem:~$ pidgin --version
Pidgin 2.13.0 (libpurple 2.13.0)
joao@librem:~$ chatty --version
chatty v0.2.0-104-g00297d8
