To overwrite the email address associated with the Hotmail app, you will need to remove the existing account from the app and then add your desired email account. Here are the general steps you can follow:

1. Open the Hotmail app on your device.
2. Go to the settings or account management section within the app.
3. Remove the existing email account that is currently linked to the app. This option is usually found under account settings.
4. Add a new account by selecting the option to add an email account and entering your desired Hotmail email address.
5. Follow the prompts to complete the setup of the new email account.

If you encounter any issues, ensure that you have the latest version of the app and that your device is updated.
