Applying with a different email than the one used for the coffee chat

For some reason I didn't consider this when applying, but does the email I apply with matter? Like when they track networking calls/interest, if I don't apply with the email used for outreach/communicating with the banks—does that matter in them making the connection to my incoming application. Might be overthinking this, but want to make sure before I submitted any more.

Based on the most helpful WSO content, using a different email for your application than the one used for networking or coffee chats might not be a dealbreaker, but it could create unnecessary confusion. Banks often track networking efforts and communications, so using the same email ensures consistency and makes it easier for them to connect your outreach efforts with your application. If you've already applied with a different email, consider following up with the same contacts you networked with, mentioning your application and clarifying the email used. This can help bridge any gaps and reinforce your interest.
