I created an alias.
However what I noticed was the email response to the alias is received , it is also sent to the primary email.
I wish to keep each individual so they don't overlap emails.
Thoughts?
You can create a shared mailbox to send and receive messages through different mail accounts. It will have its email address. This feature is unavailable for personal and family plans.

Hi sbsekula ,
You can create "Email Aliases".
Log in to your Microsoft Account then from the top right of the Microsoft web page click on your Avatar and choose "My Microsoft Account" from the drop-down menu, which is displayed.
On the screen which is then displayed, in the left hand panel, choose the "Your Info" option.
When the main page is then displatying "Your Info", scroll down to the section entitled "Account Info" and click on the "Edit Account Info" link.
On the page which is then displayed, you have the option to create Email Aliases by clicking on the "Add Email Address" link under the "Account Aliases" heading.
You can add existing email addesses and you can make up new Email Aliases, which have the "@outlook.com" domain ending.
You also can choose which email alias will be the Primary address to which all your email will be delivered.
The online reference for adding Email Aliases can be found here: Add or remove an email alias in Outlook.com
I hope that helps.
