Set different emailaddress for different projects in Visual Studio Team Services

In the overview of the "Visual Studio Team Services Accounts" I am connected to 2 different projects.

One project is named xxxx.visualstudio.com and the other is named yyyy.visualstudio.com.

I, in this case, is my Microsoft account. For this Microsoft account I can store 1 'contact email' address.

Is there a way to set a different email address for every project for my notifications? I would like all the notifications (for instance about the code reviews) for project A to go to emailaddress 1 and for project B to go emailaddress 2.

Is that possible?

EDIT I added a screenprint of the screen I see. In that screenprint there is (in the red square) the dropdown box with the 2 'names' in it. One says 'Microsoft account' (which I understand, because I'm logged on with it) and the other one states my full name, but I have no clue where it comes from.

You can only change the Contact e-mail from "My profile" in VSTS for future communications like alerts and service notifications.

But your account name cannot be changed as you mentioned : "One project is named xxxx.visualstudio.com and the other is named yyyy.visualstudio.com."

So, in your scenario if you want to work on the 2 different projects at the same time, then it's impossible. Once the Contact e-mail changed, it will be used to all the projects.

However you can apply for two VSTS accounts with different email addresses, then use them separately for the two projects.

UPDATE:

For the listed accounts, actually they are related to same Microsoft account, just access to different sites/services in Azure, and show the Full Name in the services.

Back to your original question, just as I said in above answer you can not use different email address for your account in multiple projects at the same time.

However you can enter another different email address to receive the alerts/notifications when you create the subscriptions:

Yes you can. When you go to "My profile" in VSTS. Then select the project you want to change in the dowpdown. Then click the "Edit profile" and change the email to the email you want to use.

You do need to verify the email you want to use.
