With Yahoo! Messenger open on my Macbook (OS X 10.8.2), I closed my laptop for a couple of hours. I have done this before without problem. However, last night, when I opened my laptop, Yahoo! Messenger had disconnected from the network and logged me out. With the network connection now re-established, I attempted to logon and use Yahoo! Messenger with the same account I had previously used, but no success. Either the login fails or the wheel just spins.
Also, I had saved this Yahoo! ID along with three others. The other two remain as options to select when logging in. However, the Yahoo! ID I was using when I closed the laptop is no longer available. I have to re-enter the Yahoo! ID and password now.

Try logging into Yahoo via the web, that might get it working, or at least let us know if it's an account issue or a messanger issue.
