<p dir="auto">This is an old issue which is more about the default account setting not doing what you expect it to do. It's only used as a fall-back if MailMate cannot find a reason to choose a different account. That reason would typically be that the entered “To” address has been used before (it's in your Sent Messages) and MailMate then re-uses the corresponding From account.</p>
