Yahoo's CardDAV servers are currently hardly reachable. So only CalDAV-Sync works reliably. Update (2011-06-19): Yahoo's reverse-proxies seem to be in place again.

Setup

CalDAV-Sync

  • Server: caldav.calendar.yahoo.com
  • use SSL: leave ticked, it won't work otherwise
  • Username: your Yahoo-ID (i.e. your email address at yahoo)
  • Password: your Yahoo-Password

CardDAV-Sync

  • Server: carddav.address.yahoo.com
  • use SSL: leave ticked, it won't work otherwise
  • Username: your Yahoo-ID (i.e. your email address at yahoo)
  • Password: your Yahoo-Password
