Comment(by lbeazley):

 I have an update to my problem with Yahoo and Pidgin. So I have an
 original account with AT&T who then some time ago had Yahoo manage their
 ISP at which time Yahoo gave every one at AT&T a yahoo email account which
 had the At&T email account "merged" with it. I get mail at the yahoo
 account from either email address and aspects of the AT&T account are
 still present... Long description to get to the point... Just for fun I
 switched pidgin from the Yahoo address to the AT&T address and Pidgin
 managed to log in. If I go back to the yahoo address Pidgin fails to log
 in. Prior to the problem which started yesterday evening I had been using
 the yahoo address since I started using pidgin several months ago. Seem at
 least in my case something changed on Yahoo's end with respect to my yahoo
 account.
