Add a second account with the same email address in Outlook

I'm trying to add a second account with the same email address in Outlook 365 (the version that opens via C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE which I believe is not the "app version"). It doesn't matter if I check the check box under advanced settings:

Unfortunately it only show me the error message (within the wizard window), that the email address has been added already (translation from German):

Is there a workaround? Renaming the email address doesn't work, since Outlook won't accept an invalid email.

PS. feel free to replace my German screenshot with Englisch ones.

The normal Outlook Wizard is sometimes limiting.

You can add an Account using Control Panel, Mail. This is usually the best way (for me, in any event).

Open Email Accounts and select New.

Here is a Screen Shot to illustrate.
