 As you may be aware, Yahoo has begun disabling IM accounts for users who
 do not log into their website regularly.

 Then, of course, if the IM account login fails enough times your Yahoo
 account is disabled entirely, but they don't tell you that, they just tell
 you that your login is incorrect on their website, so you have to go
 through the capcha/password reset request and pick "my password isn't
 working" so they can send you an email so you can click a link so you can
 type in your password again to reset your account, which gives them lots
 of page impressions.

 I would like to request that the Yahoo plugin automatically log into the
 Yahoo website at an interval I specify or a random interval so that I
 don't have to open a browser and log in to prevent my account being
 disabled.
