When I had a teams account it was part of a Microsoft
account that also included enterprise email (I don't remember
the exact combination of words which may have included 365 and
or Outlook). I believe I could just forward that email account
to my preferred address.

Alpine does support Microsoft email boxes if you use OAUTH2
aka OAUTHBEARER.

I found Teams on Linux was useable,
you are not being tied to Windows.
