I was looking at this a short time ago, to try to get an RSS feed of a
Yahoo calendar to a website I was developing, but there didn't seem to
be support of it (at least in Yahoo Groups). You might be able to
create some web automation using www-lib or something and parse the
HTML.... but that's not fun. I ended using Google calendar which does
provide an RSS feed.

For mail, depending on what Yahoo supports, you aren't going to get
any remote access except through well-known protocols like IMAP or POP
(assuming Yahoo supports it, and yes you will need authentication
information) -- there are libraries out there for that. YahooGroups
supports RSS, however, and shouldn't be a problem retrieving a feed
using www-lib -- or even using Perl or Python or PHP (all of which
make retrieving RSS feeds as simple as two lines of code).
