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.

Some day I might redesign how this works, but it's not at the top of my 
list.

I think this setting works to completely disable it (not 100% sure):

	defaults com.freron.MailMate MmNeverDeriveSenderBasedOnRecipient -bool 
YES
