Hi,
I have the same issue and as there are not effective controls fro this in Preferences> Accounts > Yahoo Account it cannot be fixed buy the user.

I had this same exact issue. I resoved it by going to Yahoo.com online and logging out. I guess it saw too many connected sessions. Ever since Messages has stayed connected.

Sadly this does not work for me as I am not signed in anywhere else
Hi,
Was that because, like some services, you are kept logged in if you didn't specifically Log out (Google's default period is 2 weeks and I think AIM's is the same) ?
i.e. you might have used a web log in but not logged but and only dismissed the page or Quit the Browser so 2 weeks on it still holds the login.
