Yahoo IM reentering password

[method]

I had the annoying problem of having to reenter my password when signing into Yahoo!IM on my Pre. I've noticed others have experienced the same problem. I found this bit of info on the Palm website (see quoted text below)

Yahoo!: This account includes email, calendar, and contacts. Sprint customers can also set up instant messaging. Setting up a Yahoo! account brings in Yahoo! Mail Plus email (and for Sprint only, Yahoo! Mail), contacts, and calendar events, and if applicable, sets up Yahoo! IM in Messaging as well. In addition, email and calendar are automatically synchronized, so changes you make to info on your phone are kept in sync with changes you make to your info on Yahoo.com. Your phone also displays contacts from your Yahoo! account on your phone; you cannot, however, edit Yahoo! contacts on your phone.

NOTE You must add the beta version of the new Yahoo! Calendar to your online Yahoo! account before you set up your Yahoo! account on your phone. To add the beta Calendar app, go to: switch.calendar.yahoo.com .

So I signed up for Yahoo! Calendar, re-synced the calendar on my Pre (calendar app>preferences&accounts>sync now) and so far I don't have any problems signing into Yahoo!IM on my phone.

I hope this is helpful to others.
