Not necessarily.  You can set the return-address variable in your
~/.mailrc file, like that:

  set return-address="i...@simonh.uk"

See

https://mailutils.org/manual/html_node/Mail-Variables.html#return_002daddress

Quite right.  That should give the same result.

The most probable reason is that you edited wrong file.  Run the
following command to see whether mail reads the proper file and
interprets it correctly:

  mail --config-lint --config-verbose
