I just discovered this while trying to email a photo to myself.

I have multiple email accounts on my iPhone, all Exchange accounts. One is my primary, the others are my seldom used email accounts I setup for myself at client's domains (I'm an IT guy). Let's call them PRIMARY and CLIENT.

In Mail Settings, my primary email account is set to PRIMARY.

When I go to email a picture from Photos, the email comes up, with the FROM field showing my primary email address. I type in my primary email address in the TO field (to send to myself) and press SEND.

When I receive the email, it shows it is FROM my CLIENT email address, to me at my PRIMARY email address. If I look at the email headers, it indeed was sent through the CLIENT account servers and arrived as from my CLIENT email address.

I did it again just to double-check and indeed, the FROM and TO in the email before I press SEND are my PRIMARY email. But the email comes through as though it came from my CLIENT account.

Anyone else? This is nuts! I don't want pictures I send people coming from an account that I rarely use and that my friends and family don't recognize!! Why is this happening?
