How to have 2 email accounts on hotmail on ipad

So I’ve had a bit of a google, but thought would ask the knowledge. I have a hotmail email and an outlook one, so have each app set up. I need to add another different email address, but one that is also easy to quickly check. Can I have two email accounts on the hotmail app on an IPad/iPhone and toggle between them? Or is there another secure email I can set up as a third app? Don’t have a 3rd email but need to set up a new account for privacy reasons.

This has become some stupid mental block thing for me (ND) and any help gratefully received to make my life easier and save me spending all day working on this!

If you're on an iPad or iPhone, do you have the mailbox app? Just looks like a white envelope on a blue background? If you go into there, click "edit" then "add mailbox" should be an option, you can use this to add all of your email accounts (hotmail etc) into the same app.

I do this and it sets out an "all mailboxes" section at the top which consolidates all of your email accounts, then below they're split out eg "iCloud" "hotmail" for each account. It looks like this 😊

Thanks, yes I have the white mail symbol on the blue background. If I make another account and add it, when in the app can you toggle between the 2 accounts or does it lump all the email together or do you have to toggle in the settings first?
Thanks for helping!

Agh, sorry you’ve already shown me that in the app it’ll have different mailboxes.

Thanks!
