Comment:

 Replying to [comment:6 darkrain42]:
 > My understanding is that some Yahoo accounts *do* require the @domain
 part (in particular, things like @sbcglobal.net, etc). However, rekkanoryo
 corrected me last night in devel at cpi. Apparently, sometimes the
 "@yahoo.com" is necessary for a user to log in (his guess is if
 rekkanoryo at yahoo.com and rekkanoryo at yahoo.ca both exist, one is required
 to use the full domain).

 Things like @sbcglobal.net, yeah how can I forget them. Also as far as I
 know we cant have account both at @yahoo.com and say @yahoo.co.in.

 or not.

 If error 1013 is KNOWN to occur ONLY when we have this discussed problem,
 then it can be dealt with. If there are other reasons error 1013 can
 occur, we would have a problem.
