Workaround:

Since Yahoo supports exporting a calendar in the standard .ics format,

  • Log into Yahoo and export the calendar.

  • Open Thunderbird and its Calendar.

    Importing .ics file

  • Select the menu on the right.

  • Select Open from File  > .

  • Select Calendar.

  • Select the .ics file generated from Yahoo Calendar.
