Your aliases all look fine.
The only thing I see which might be a problem is the <angle-brackets>
around the URL's you posted in your prefs. I *imagine* they were
placed by your email client. If not, remove them and try it again.
var yyid = Array("myid","mypass","<http://my.yahoo.com/>");
Should be:
var yyid = Array("myid","mypass","http://my.yahoo.com/";);
(if your email reader *adds* angle brackets around my 'should be' line
url, remove them - that line contains neither "<" or ">")
Lastly, I've modified the yy search to include cookie handling - iow,
you can have a fourth option now to store a cookie if you so desire
(it defaults to doing so, now, as well). That modification is now
attached. New syntax for variables is as so:
Do not store Yahoo cookie:
var yyid = Array("myid","mypass","http://my.yahoo.com/","";);
Store cookie:
var yyid = Array("myid","mypass","http://my.yahoo.com/","y";);
or
var yyid = Array("myid","mypass","http://my.yahoo.com/";);

<tr><td>yyid ('user', 'pwd', 'url', 'storeCookie');</td><td>An array storing a user and password profile for Yahoo!
You SHOULD provide the <em>yyid()</em> variable, however, you may also provide as many other
profiles as necessary to account for your Yahoo ID's. If you were to create a 'second' profile
you would need only to pass the variable name on the command line: <br />
<strong>yy otherVariable</strong><br />
These variables are, however, case sensitive. If the variable passed does not exist (misspelled,
incorrect case...), this search will 'default' to using the <em>yyid</em> variable.</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>user</b> </td><td> Your Yahoo User ID (YahooID)</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>pwd</b> </td><td> Simple enough - your *plain text* yahoo password. <strong>This poses a security risk for your Yahoo account if your system is ever compromised</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>url</b> </td><td> Page to load upon successful authentication. Options include just about any Yahoo site, including <a target="_blank" href="http://groups.yahoo.com/";>http://groups.yahoo.com/</a>, <a target="_blank" href="http://notepad.yahoo.com/";>http://notepad.yahoo.com/</a> or any other <a target="_blank" href="http://www.yahoo.com/";>http://www.yahoo.com/</a> site (more at: <a target="_blank" href="http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/family/more.html";>http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/family/more.html</a>).</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>storeCookie</b> </td><td> Store a persistent cookie 'session login' for your browser for ALL Yahoo services? VALID options are "y" (for "yes") and empty (""). This value DEFAULTS to "y".</td></tr>
