Only 1 Outlook.com Tasks can sync with device?

So tried to sync my Gmail Tasks with my S3 and apparently Google and/or Samsung hasn't added that functionality. So was excited to find out that tasks through Hotmail/Outlook.com setup as an Exchange server connection did support it. Well now I'm finding out that only one Calendar per account is supported. I added another Calendar to hold my events/tasks specifically for school. When I go and do a sync, the main calendar/tasks show up on my S3 but not the school Calendar/tasks. Anyone have the same problem?

Set up a second outlook.com account for your school events, and sync both of them to your phone? Or just put your school events in the same calendar as your other events.

Thanks, those were the obvious workarounds (no offense intended). However some problems with those suggestions. If I keep them in one account I have to go through some 50 tasks and change the calendar source and they won't show up on the web interface nor my s3 with different colors which is very important for my needs. Creating a new account and setting up a calendar just for school sounds good in theory but I spent most of a night manually inputting my tasks into their current home. There is no export/import functionality in Outlook.com and definitely don't want to spend another night doing the same thing.

Well, I can understand not wanting to spend another night re-entering data, but I suspect these are pretty much your only options.

One other though, though: If you use two different calendar apps on the phone, can you set each one to sync to a different calendar on the same account? Not as convenient as having everything merged, and I suspect it still won't work, but it's the only other idea I have.
