Yahoo is in the process of chaning their authentication. That much is certain. The change has, as part of it's "reason for being" to kill 3rd-party clients (among other issues, certainly that's not the only reason). When I was still there, there was a cadre of folks who were trying to convince TPTB that getting into an AOL-style pissing contest with 3rd-party client makers was a zero-sum game, and that Yahoo should instead EMBRACE those people, well, we weren't really listened to. Things might have changed since I left there in December, mind you, but the discussions on this topic, on the libyahoo mailing list, seem to continue to bear this out.
