Hmmm. I just created a login there, and was able to send and check mail 
properly.  Can you give a better idea of what exactly you were doing when
this happened?

I did notice yahoo was sending cookies with invalid domains, this might be
an indication that the site is broken in other ways... I tried it both
using -accept_all_cookies and without, and looks okay to me.
