Either the password is incorrect or your Yahoo account is inactive. Free Yahoo accounts have to be regularly used or they get deactivated (after 2 months, I think). You may have to log in via the website first to get your account going again.

For the password, verify that the Pre didn't inadvertantly capitalize the first letter (if it isn't supposed to be). The Pre briefly shows you what you type in masked fields, one letter at a time as you type.

Other than that, I don't know what else could be wrong. I have two regular free Yahoo accounts on my Pre (one I had to reactivate because I hadn't used it in a long time).
