Why are skype messages not sent when the recipient is offline (Linux)?

Question

linux

Hello! Ubuntu 15.10 with Linux 4.2.0. Skype latest version, downloaded from off site. When the contact is online, communication by messages and calls occurs without problems. When he dumps, I send a message, after a couple of seconds, an exclamation mark appears next to him. He logs in, my messages do not come. From Android, Windows, etc. - in this network, everything is sent and delivered. Where to go for this? Or is there a clear solution?

1. Use Skype's WEB interface ... at least to check what's going on (never seen anything like it).
2. You have an old Skype - it may not connect at all. Fresh Skype for Linux - 4.3.0.37 (maybe even more?).
