Change the yahoo server under your account settings to
cs101.msg.mud.yahoo.com. Seems to work for me.

New this morning - I am unable to connect to Yahoo with Pidgin 2.5.6.
I can connect OK using the "official" Yahoo IM application.
With the Pidgin debug window enabled, I disable my Yahoo account then
enable it. Here is the relevant info:

Pidgin just sits there, apparently waiting forever to complete the
connection.
