If it's of any interest, in the meantime you could use my "Export-Import
Entourage X" scripts to transfer calendar and contact information between
Entourage and the Yahoo online calendar and address book. Although it's not
really designed for regular synching, if your traffic is always one-way from
Entourage to Yahoo, you can get it to work, since the scripts allow you to
export just selected or by-category items. That way you can export just new
and updated events after the first time. (If Yahoo lets you do something
similar, it would work the other direction too, but as far as I know, you
can only export your entire calendar from Yahoo. The Import scripts _can_
filter for duplicates, but frankly it would take too long and probably get
bogged down.) It's no substitute for real synching of course, but it would
work. (See the "Outlook" section of the scripts' ReadMe for Entourage to
Yahoo.)
