Jeffmcc, have you tried making a new Yahoo account and seeing if the Pre will work with it? This would serve as a litmus test to see if the problem is specific to your existing Yahoo account or specific to your Pre.

If it works with a new Yahoo account, you might want to change the password on your old Yahoo account (using the Yahoo site). The Pre doesn't impose password complexity like the Yahoo site, but perhaps some hop between your Pre and Yahoo Mail is having problems with it. I used to have a short password on my Yahoo Mail (set before they implemented password complexity requirements) and my Pre would occasionally barf when trying to send/receive mail.
