[Bug 891811] Re: Yahoo account fails to login

 

This worked for my YM account.  Empathy had it configured to use port
5050.  I changed it to 23.

It could have been a work firewall issue.  Apparently,  valid choices
include 20, 23, 25, 80, 119, 5050, 8001, and 8002.  Incidentally, I saw
exactly the same behavior in Pidgin.
