I also notice that my yahoo account is listed under my managed email accounts without an user ID.  I'm unable to remove the account

Assming you have REMOVED the Yahoo Account via "MY ACCOUNTS" first, then do the WIPE CACHE procedure and then re-add the account afterwards.

 

1 - REMOVE YAHOO ACCOUNT

 

2 - Power OFF

 Wiping cache partition -  cures many ills and is better to start with this than a (gulp) full Factory Reset.

 

  • Power off
  • Power On Holding Home Key
  • When Andy with Exlamation Point Shows up Press BOTH Volume keys
  • Use Volume Keys to navigate to "wipe cache partition" and tap power button to select
  • Wait for it to finish and select reboot system

 

3 - re-add YAHOO account

Yahoo appears to be still having issues because my device has done this same issue off and on for some while, I thought the resolved it but it happened again yesterday..

 

Since Yahoo are in the process of updating their servers this may be a on going issue for awhile until they complete the upgrade..

Same here but I do not believe it is possible to do this because if you create a new profile it will simply start fresh..
