Lightbulb How to choose which account outgoing mail comes from on iphone.

Edit *** since I posted this it has come to my attention that you can double tap your name when composing a message to change the outgoing account however the rest of my OP still explains the default behavior of the iphone mail app. ***






On the iphone if you have more than one account set up, the top level menu (first screen on the mail app.) is a list of your accounts.
For me this is my corporate email and my @me.com account.
Once you choose an account and go to that accounts folder list, the iphone assumes anything you do is happening in THAT account so any outgoing messages use that accounts address and server settings. To send message with the other account, you have to go back up the menus to the root of the mail program and choose the other account. Once your in the other account your outgoing mail will appear to come from that account.
