From my personal experience on my VZW Tour 9630 the issue seems to be related to the length of one's yahoo email address. I've had 2 "short" yahoo addresses (one was yahoo.com and the other rocketmail.com) work fine with YM 2.5.69 on my BB. Yesterday I created a new "long" (23 characters before @rocketmail.com) yahoo address and am now experiencing this issue for the first time.

I have followed the suggestion found at this link to no avail:

So just pointed out that in MY case when I had a "short" yahoo address (last yahoo account I had working was only 10 characters before @rocketmail.com) YM worked fine on my BB.
