I am had the same issue some times back, we were using a DSL connection, and when we try to use yahoo mail via http, it gives use the same error, 999, but if used via https, no error, i guess it is the browser---> proxy---->proxy stuff which confuses yahoo. where is in many cases https is not proxied:)
