I am a MS 365 Family subscriber. Does this allow me to create a new email account/address and how do I do this?

The instructions are not clear.

No it does not, you can add any valid mail account you have to MS Outlook, the mail component

An outlook.com mail account is free from MS https://outlook.live.com/owa/

Hi Peter

I'm AnnaThomas and I'd happily help you with your question. In this Forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

Here's how to do it:

Log in to your Microsoft 365 account at https://www.office.com/signin.

Once you're signed in, click on the "Outlook" icon.

Click on the "Settings" icon in the upper-right corner (it looks like a gear).

Select "View all Outlook settings" at the bottom of the dropdown menu.

In the "Settings" page, click on "Mail" and then "Sync email."

Under the "Connected accounts" section, click on "Add a connected account."

Enter the email address and password for the account you want to add, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

Alternatively, you can create a new email address for yourself or a family member by following these steps:

Go to https://account.microsoft.com/.

Click on "Your info" and then "Manage how you sign in to Microsoft."

Click on "Add email."

Enter the new email address you want to create, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

I hope this helps ;-), let me know if this is contrary to what you need, I would still be helpful to answer more of your questions.

Best Regards,

AnnaThomas
