That was my thought, but I'm allowing cookies (and offsite images) for
my.yahoo.com, yahoo.com, login.yahoo.com, and whatever else I can find. 
And still no luck.  I even went to allowing all cookies and all offsite
images from all sources.  I used to be able to access my.yahoo.com through
the mozilla browser.  But now I can't.

Yes, for those wondering which mozilla, what part of mozilla, etc.  I am
using mozilla-browser with mozilla-psm.  Mozilla version 1.7 in debian
(sid) with a 2.6.x kernel, not that it's any different with a 2.4.x kernel.

my.yahoo.com allows me to login and shows the email / news page, but when
I click on the inbox, it prompts for me to verify the login and starts the
ugly looping process.  FWIW, I had to go into windows to even register a
yahoo account.  And groups.yahoo.com has always had this behavior.  But up
until recently, email didn't.
