        Hi,
it's an error message Yahoo! server returns. It used to work in the
past, but after some time it's broken, regardless of the evolution
version. I'm not aware of a change on their side, like using a
different URL or something, but I also didn't search for it.

The thing is that evolution initiates an OPTIONS request, to which the
server (other servers) usually return "HTTP/1.1 401 must
authenticate", on which the evolution code knows that the credentials
are required, thus it provides them in a resent request and everything
works fine afterwards. The problem with the Yahoo! server is that the
response for the unauthenticated OPTIONS request is "HTTP/1.1 8
Message Corrupt".
        Bye,
