I use Outlook Web Mobile on my S4 to have access to my Outlook email. It has a calendar in it but can I access it another way?

I'd like to be able to set one of the Home screens as my Outlook calendar. That way I don't have to open the email client and switch to the calendar view.
Maybe a different app?

From that app's feature list:
Download basic information of calendar events to local calendar, for offline view, to use with third party widget, etc.
Set this up, then set up a full-page widget with Pure Calendar or whatever widget app you prefer. Have it open this app on click.

Of course, if you want the entries to be directly clickable/editable in the "real" calendar, you may need a different setup.

It doesn't recognize my log in domain. It's a work email, it seems to be wanting Hotmail.

He's probably wanting to avoid syncing his phone to EAS so that he doesn't have to comply with the security policies that will be enforced from the server, such as having a PIN code.

Is that a correct assessment?

Have you thought about using TouchDown?

It appears to have Widgets.

While doing a quick look on this, someone also mentioned Enhanced Email, which provides the same features as TouchDown (sandboxing your email so the policies don't apply at the device level) but also seems to feed the stock Google Calendar so that your events are picked up by Google Now.

I already have my email on the phone, I just want a separate calendar window.
Can I sync the Android/S4 Calendar widget with Outlook instead of Gmail?
