Changing email address has messed everything up in teams

Hi

 

My windows 10 user account used to be mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons. I changed this to a new address as the old one was getting spammed to hell and back.

 

I have the teams app on my win 11 machine. I have been invited to a group and the person has sent the invitation to my new address. I am sure of this as I saw them send it and I received it.

 

When I click on the link it opens a new teams window and asks me to log in ... when I am already logged in, in an existing teams desktop app window !! So I log in using the new email address and lo and behold it logs me into an old mailto:email address removed for privacy reasons account !!

 

Obviously we are doing something wrong but for the life of me I cannot work it out.
