Gmail doesn’t lock you to Zimbra… unlike YMail… Have you ever heard of IMAP locked to a specific client? It’s a joke…

If my name (has accent marks, “Máirín”) appears correctly with accent marks in the mail/calendar UI, in my outgoing emails and invitations it comes out all gobbledygook. I mucked with it a bit, and now in the Yahoo! UI my name looks all gobbledygook but in outgoing emails at least people can read my real name.

Seems like some kind of i18n issue with string handling somewhere… Just thought I’d point it out.

Thanks,

I am thrilled with the new feature enhancements to the calendar! Actually I filed a request for multiple to-do lists and ical feeds for to-do lists just last week right before it came out.

One thing I wanted to mention is that there is a bug with making shared to-do lists. I tried to share to-do lists with a friend so he could get read/write access, and it keeps going back to read-only access for him, it won’t let me give him write access and the radio button to do so stops working.

Even with the bug though, this is a big win. Thank you so much. I am now in the process dumping my gmail and google calendar accounts. Zimbra is awesome and I love that it’s open source (Google is not!!).

To the person who stated that Yahoo is trailing Google – ORLY?? Last I checked Google calendar does NOT let you export your todo lists in ical…. I had to create a rememberthemilk.com account just for that. Now I don’t need it anymore!

Thanks again!

One thing missing from the current Yahoo Calendar Event List is the day of the week, which would be very useful – especially when it is printed.

For example: if I schedule a 3 hour appointment from 3pm to 6pm, it will display a different 3 hour timeframe in the day view. It will display yet another 3 hour timeframe in the week view. If I sit my cursor on the timeframe, it will still show the original 3 hour block that I had set. All views display correctly in IE7.

Your best bet is to reach out to the Yahoo! Customer Care Dept. In your particular case this is a known issue that requires their assistance. You should fill out the form here:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/help_s.html

I would literally cut and paste your description of the issue above into this form.

Thanks,

Carl

Such a bully. Unfortunately I can’t help you with your topic – if you have any questions about Calendar or CalDAV (calendar’s version of IMAP which we support btw) then I’m the right one to ask.
Thanks for your feedback.
Herbert

Because right now, having to “switch” between old and new configuration screens is ridiculous. It’s been like this for years…. fix it already. What else is it that you do there?
