Go to www.e-messenger.net and log in with your Yahoo! ID and password; as soon as you're in, your offline messages will pop up! Remember to disable your pop up block, if you have any, else, they won't show!

Wish I had an answer as the exact same thing is happening to me.  In my instance it's logging off and  loggong on every few minutes.  Every so often I will the "...you have been loggged into another machine."  Like you I thought my password may have been stolen somehow so I immediately changed my password, but I still experience the same thing.  I have 2 computers and am experiencing similar results on both.  Haven't tried a new ID yet, and haven't had any luck in finding resources, but am still looking.  I have software/hardware firewalls, virus scanners, and all my wireless protocols are encrypted (not with WEP).  This is a recent issue that just started out of the blue after yahoo officially moved all of us to the new mail system.  Oh, and you gotta love those automated responses from yahoo.  If anyone else has run into this and tried other things to try to resolve it or at least narrow it down the info would be helpful.

That is a strange one.  Is it only happening when Y! Messenger is open, or all the time?  Regardless, if you can pinpoint it to Messenger, and NOTHING else, uninstall it and see if you can open multiple instances.  If you can, reinstall and see if the problem returns.  If the problem returns, update your browser, disable security software, etc, or just use Firefox as previously suggested.

May be you not tick mark on the preference that always sign in to my mobile device when i exit messenger. so please tick mark on that and you always get online with your mobile. Or just go in to edit my device option and again register your device in yahoo messenger service. Hope this will beneficial to you.

try this if it still doesn't work contact yahoo.\nIf Yahoo! Messenger is unable to connect to our servers, one of the following may occur:\nYour software may display a message that says it can't connect.\nThe yellow "Connecting" light might last for a long time.\nThe light may stay grey and say "Not Connected."\nFirst, check your email or surf web sites to see if you are connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). \n\nNext, make sure you have Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.1 or above installed on your machine. If you use Netscape as your browser, you don't have to switch to Internet Explorer or even run Explorer. In order to update your system files, you just have to install Internet Explorer. Yahoo! Messenger uses files from Internet Explorer to run. You can download version 5.5 from: \n\n   http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm \n\nAll of the above conditions indicate a connection problem, not a problem with your Yahoo! ID or password. (If you receive an Invalid Login error message, there is a problem with your ID or password.) \n\nIf you receive a message that says "You have been logged of as you have logged in on a different machine," this means that you have logged onto the Java Messenger while you were running the Windows Messenger, or vice versa. \n\nIf Messenger was able to connect before, but has suddenly stopped, we may be having temporary server problems. These types of problems are usually resolved in a matter of hours.\n\nIf the problem persists, your Messenger connection information may be incorrect. \n\nIf Messenger has never been able to connect, try this: \n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on No network detection, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nIf that doesn't work, follow these steps:\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Firewall with no proxies, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nThe above configuration will work in almost any situation. However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the voice chat feature.\n\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Use proxies. Here you can enter your firewall and/or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet Service Provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nNote: If Messenger crashes and you can't connect, please read our Messenger Crash help section.

ugh, you dont need to download it again, unless you want to be signed in to two accounts at the same time, then use web messenger. you can use as many accounts on one messenger as needed, but you can only sign in one at a time

Yes I had it :) You just need to go to your messenger's preferences and disable "Becoming Idle" thing :) It's easy. then such problems won'tarrive anymore :)

Just remove program and install messenger again. Also check the internet connection.\n\nIn rare case you might have had a special preference of internet connection that does not let Yahoo Messenger program access Internt.

you have to reset your security settings to allow messenger...you r prooly behind a firewall...especially if you downloaded the security package from charter cable...

Latley I've had lots of problems with the sign on being slow and getting booted more than usual.  I've heard lots of other people saying they;ve had the same problems. Also often Yahoo profiles have been unavalibe too.

I know that if you try to use the web version of yahoo messenger it doesn't always log you completely out.  I had to start up full messenger & log into that ID to get my other account to show as offline after I used the web version of messenger.  \n\nIt's just a yahoo quirk.  And yes, Beta could very well have something to do with it.  When yahoo made a big change 4 or 5 years ago...messenger was screwed for months.  People would stay visible online for weeks at a time even when they weren't online.  If yahoo doesn't keep their servers in sync with each other, this will happen.
