Add Account: Tap the account type and enter your username and password for the online calendar account. Before you can set up an account on your smartphone, you must already have an account online with the provider.

Manually synchronise Calendar with your online accounts

If you want to get calendar events from an online account on your smartphone immediately or upload events from your smartphone to the online account (if the account allows it), you can do a manual sync. This synchronises Calendar with all the accounts you have set up on your smartphone, and it syncs all other apps associated with all online accounts that you selected for synchronisation.

Delete an online account from Calendar

If you synchronise calendar events with an online account, deleting the account from Calendar stops synchronisation of calendar events only—if you also sync contacts or email messages with that online account, those continue to synchronise. Deleting the account from Calendar also deletes any associated events from your smartphone only. The entries are not deleted from the online account.

3Under Accounts, tap the account name.

4Tap Remove Account and tap Remove Calendar Account.

To restart synchronisation with an account you have deleted from Calendar: Open Accounts , tap the account name and tap Off beside Calendar to turn synchronisation on.
