[Bug 917453] [NEW] Evolution defaults on caldav prevent connection to Yahoo calendar

 

Public bug reported:

Evolution defaults to caldav:// as the prefix to all caldav calendars
and does not allow overriding the value. (Entry is replaced after saving
and applying). Yahoo calendar requires
https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com, which Evolution ignores and overlays
with caldav://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com. Impossible to link to Yahoo
calendar or contacts with this bug. Evolution prior versions were able
to link/sync with Yahoo calendar/contacts. Not certain when this error
was introduced, but beleive it has existed since at least April of 2011.
