Yahoo has changed server name. It seems Digsby people not maintaining updates regularly. Digsby default Yahoo server no longer working. My problem was solved by just changing Yahoo server.  To fix the issue simple replace default Yahoo server with new Yahoo server.

Default Digsby Yahoo IM Server:  scs.msg.yahoo.com
New Yahoo IM Server:  cs213p3.msg.ac4.yahoo.com

Hope this help!
