Only calendars that are selected in the synchronization prefs for  
Kronolith are included.

Make sure you have selected "support separate calendars" in  
Kronolith's sync preferences. Also, only calendars the user has read  
and write access too are supported (there is no such thing as  
read-only items in ActiveSync).

If Kronolith is configured correctly, Outlook should show the list of  
calendars. If it's not configured for multiple calendar support, only  
one calendar is shown which contains all entries "multiplexed" together.
