How do I set up my online accounts?

It used to be found in the System Settings in 11.10 but I guess it's been replaced by Privacy in 12.04. I tried to set it up by using the Contacts app but I accidentally closed the option to add my online accounts and now it's gone. I've tried uninstalling Contacts and then doing a clean up with Ubuntu Tweak but that doesn't seem to have done anything. How can I set up my online acounts?

I think you are looking for Broadcast accounts.

Open terminal.

Type the following command:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/gnome-online-accounts-panel.desktop

Scroll down till you see the following:
```
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;
```

Change it to look like the following:
```
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;
```

Click save. Then try searching accounts in the dash.
