Obvious solution - Change the cookie setting. Which I have done... however I think it's worth asking about.

I have the same problem, but I found a way around it. Before opening mail.yahoo.com in a tab, to to Tools -> Options. Under the Privacy tab, click the "Exceptions" button. Type in "login.yahoo.com" and click the "Allow" or "Allow for session" button. Do the same for "login.mail.yahoo.com". It's not a fix, but it will get you back into your mail!
