Not that I expect to use it for actual email all that much - I'm already set up to use my normal personal email for most things. But it should let me register for discounts, library access, things like that.
The problem is that it's an Office 365 account. A good idea, in general, it gives us all a common set of tools that some people may not have. But, they're not the only people to have this good idea, and MS in their wisdom will only let you sign into (and get "new mail" alerts from) one account at a time. I now have three. My work one is set up so I can access it via the Yahoo web email interface, and I rather hoped to do the same here. Or to forward these ones to another account. Or something! But no, not an option. For now, I've got my phone logged into work Outlook (and Teams) and the laptop into OU, but this really isn't ideal.
I have a new email address!
