I would dump the yahoo messenger all together and use gaim with the yahoo plugin. I had the same issues trying to use the yahoo messenger. Gaim works fine for me. Try it out.

Or you could try everybuddy - that's a good IM client, supporting MSN, Yahoo, AIM, ICQ .... If you want a text-only one, try centericq, it's got pretty much the same functions.
