first of all, are you able to use any other service squid is offering(broswing the web for example)?
are you able to ping squid maschine?(Traceroute to find where the flow is blocked).
are you able to access yahoo messenger other way...(not using squid)?

Have you checked whether the Squid proxy authentication mechanism is preventing or conflicting with the Yahoo Messenger scheme?
Do verify that the required ports are open.
