This is being handled differently upstream, so I'll close this bug as Invalid (as per the upstream response).

When I compose a new email (by hitting the New button), evolution pops up the composer with the account1 email address instead of account2's one as I'd expect (given that it's my default one). If I'm reading stuff from the "On this computer" account, then evolution uses the correct (default) account when composing a new email. I'd expect that the default account would always be the one used when composing a new message, or else there's no difference between the default and the others?
