===Yahoo Calendar Beta Notes===
For Yahoo, as of Jan 2009, CalDAV is only available with the new Yahoo
Calendar Beta, not the default Yahoo Calendar. First,
[http://switch.calendar.yahoo.com/m/landing.php switch].
The Yahoo Calendar Beta version number is in the lower left corner of
the beta calendar web interface, formatted like "5.0 - 20090105-1552".
Once you have switched, you can find the calendar name in the left
column of the new web interface, it defaults to the account owner's
name. You may click to toggle the visibility checkmark as in Sunbird
or Lightning. Then
[http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/calendar/yahoocalendar/sync/sync-05.html subscribe]
in Lightning or Sunbird with a CalDAV URL of the form:
<br/> https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/dav/<i>YOUR_USERNAME</i>/Calendar/<i>YOUR_CALENDAR_NAME</i>
For Yahoo Calendar version "5.0 - 20090105-1552", when Sunbird asked
for username and password, the server was identified as Zimbra.
In Yahoo Calendar version "5.0 - 20090105-1552", creating a task from
either the web interface or Sunbird 0.9 shows up in the other side,
and edits made from Sunbird show up in the web interface. However,
editing an existing to-do from the Yahoo web interface fails to save,
so changes are lost when you refresh the web interface by changing the
view date (independent of Sunbird). Interestingly, there is no way to
set a task alarm from the web interface, but an alarm is shown if it a
dated task is created from Sunbird.
In Yahoo Calendar version "5.0 - 20090105-1552", Free-Busy time
detection from the Sunbird 0.9 invitation dialog seemed to work.
Sending an invitation from the web interface sent a text email (with
wrong time, probably a timezone error) with an http link to the server
for the recipient to RSVP via a web browser, not an iTIP/iMIP request
for the recipient's calendar and email iTIP/iMIP reply. (When the
recipient visits the link and clicks a button, the server sends a text
email with short reply corresponding to the button.)
