I've had a similar issue with Ymail myself; it seems that after a certain period of inactivity, Yahoo will deactivate accounts. I don't believe there is any way to avoid this, but you might be able to get it back.
Under the login box, there should be a link that says "I can't access my account". Select this, and from there select "My password doesn't work". You'll need to answer your security questions, and from there you can reactivate.
If you have remained active, your account has likely been compromised. A similar process is needed; select "My account may have been compromised" instead of "My password doesn't work".

The following two images should provide a sufficient walkthrough of the steps needed, as far as I can take you.

The red box in the first image isn't actually there, I added that to point out where you should look. Hopefully this helps!

I think it may be due to your password problem.you may forget your password and entered an incorrect password.i too have the same problem before and now i am using an unique password to all accounts.otherwise there is no options.

Yahoo Mail have been having a lot of trouble lately. Leave it for a day or so and hopefully they will get their act together. A lot of other people have been having troubles as well.
You can ask for a new password (forgot password link) to be mailed to your alternate email account.

I have not had this problem specifically, but I have been having many crazy problems with yahoo the last couple of weeks. I can't explain all of it but it's just not working right. it would be a big pain to try to change my account to another type of server but I am certainly thinking about it!

Hi yugasini,
There is a possibility that your account had been hacked. The hacker had probably changed your password intentionally or unintentionally. My messenger was hacked once. I found out this from my friends who told me that someone else is chatting under my id.
I was left with no choice but to delete my account and create a new one with a more complex and hard to figure out password. If you still can't log yourself in, than I suggest you to do the same.
