Generally, error 1236 can mean two different things, depending on when it's received. When received early in the login process (during the HTTPS auth requests), it means that the account has too many failed login attempts--you must log into yahoo's site and potentially wait a while before trying pidgin again. When received later in the login process (after auth is complete), we don't yet know what it means. I don't recall if we handle that error during auth or not. We'd need a debug log to tell when you're receiving the error, but I would try logging into the website and waiting a while first.
