★ Calendar as a tab in Mail still in work
Wonder when it will finally be released. From the Suggestion board:
Now let’s hope they can do that by the end of the year. Among the problems that were brought about let’s note :
∞ Sync Yahoo calendar with Evolution in Ubuntu
From OMGUbuntu :
Yahoo calendar uses the CalDAV protocol which is supported out of the box in Evolution. Thus setting it up is a cinch.
Open Evolution and go to New > Calendar
Select ‘CalDAV’ as calendar type.
Give the calendar a name – this can be anything you like
In the URL section enter https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com
Username is your Yahoo! account username (including @yahoo.com)
Once filled in click ‘Browse Server for a calender’
Choose the one you want and then click ‘OK’.
Now your chosen calendar should show up in the calendar section. Note that manual refresh doesn’t work but that the ‘next time you bring Evolution up your events are there.’
A nice hack by sy1bzbn demoing the deep integration of Yahoo! Calendar into Yahoo! Mail Neo beta. The userscript should be avalaible soon. Learn more here.
Slideshow : what the integration of Yahoo! Calendar in Yahoo! Mail may look like. Those are pictures posted by a Yahoo! user who previously published tips that we reprinted over here few days ago. Given how the address book has been worked out in the beta, those screenshots look quite realistic. Not sure those are official for sure though
∞ Here Comes The All New Yahoo! Calendar
From the Yahoo! Mail Blog
Here are some new features that we baked into the All New Yahoo! Calendar.
Get your stuff done faster— You can view an entire month or focus on a specific date and time. You can also assign colors for different calendars and to-do lists, and drag-and-drop events between dates or years.
Sharing made easy—All New Yahoo! Calendar gives you more control to share your calendars and events. You can control how you share events and reminders by selecting ‘View Only’ or ‘Add/Edit’ modes. You can also make your event publicly accessible to anyone who knows your Yahoo! ID, send contacts a Web URL to access your calendar, or send invites to clients that support the .ics protocol.
Subscribe to other calendars—You can subscribe to other Web calendars that support the iCal address protocol.
Take your Calendar with you—All New Yahoo! Calendar supports Calendar Sync with mobile and other smart devices using the CalDAV protocol. That means you can sync Yahoo! Calendar with the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iCalendar, Mozilla Lightning/Sunbird, Palm, Alcatel, and others.
Custom themes— Similar to Classic, Yahoo! Calendar 2.0 also hosts country holiday calendars which you can subscribe to easily.
