The Evolution determines the address based on the redirections the Yahoo! server provides. I know it used to work, but since some (probably) server change it stopped working and the server begun to return "Message Corrupt" error.

I tried to investigate it in the past, also checking the correctness of the used addresses, but I didn't find any clear fault on the evolution(-data-server) side. If you think the address is wrong, are you aware of the correct address?

I am not able to connect to Yahoo! calendar using these [1] instructions in thunderbird too. It even doesn't tell me what's going wrong, so hard to tell.
