Comment(by alangh):

 I am also suffering from this affliction.  (Over and over again)

 When I received the message from pidgin, I downloaded and ran the official
 Yahoo! Messenger 9.0 client.  The message I received when trying to login
 is:

 ----

 Sign-In Problem
   Your account has been locked. (81003003)

 ----

 When I receive this message, I can login to my.yahoo.com and then re-
 enable the account in pidgin, and it is able to connect again.  However if
 I leave pidgin up for days, the next time I login, it fails again (with
 the lockout).

 Clues:
 ---------
 I do not have this problem with other libpurple clients (adium).

 I do not have this problem in pidgin with other Yahoo! accounts, only this
 one.  One difference with this account is that it has several different
 Yahoo! aliases tied to it.
