I have multiple calendars within a single Windows Live (Hotmail specifically) account. I used to be able to manage them on my phone using the Google Calendar app by using the Outlook android app as a pass through. This would allow me to manage each individual calendar (i.e. I could assign separate colors for each calendar, and I could see, edit and create entries). Since Microsoft has rebranded Acompli as Outlook, I've lost the ability to use it as a pass through to enable this functionality in Google Calendar.
When I look at the calendars in the Outlook app, I can see and manage the individual calendars the way I want to, but I much prefer the Google Calendar app. I mostly use the widget actually. When I look at the calendars in the Google Calendar app, I see the entries in all of the calendars, but it treats them as entries on the main calendar associated with the Hotmail account itself. If I try to add new entries, they get added to the main calendar. I don't have a choice to add entries onto the sub-calendars.
I've seen several workarounds, but they only enable you to read the calendars. I am looking for full access to the calendars so I can add, edit and delete entries as well. Does anyone have a solution for this?
If it helps clarify what I'm trying to do, my use case is managing calendars for my family. We use my wife's Hotmail account but have created a separate calendar within that account for each family member. This way we can easily see who (by assigning a different color to each family member) needs to be at what practice, school event, scout event, etc and when. Since we are often on the go somewhere, it is extremely helpful to have full management capabilities on all calendars from our mobile devices. It's quite handy. Well, it was until I lost this functionality. My wife's iPhone works, but that's a whole other story.
