===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.) | |||
