I have several email accounts. The default account in account settings is [email protected]. If I get emails to any other gmail account ([email protected], [email protected], etc) and click reply, the from box always has acctA@gmail .com. Any other email accounts that are not gmail accounts work fine eg. get email for [email protected], click reply, from box shows [email protected].

One additional note, if I change the default account to [email protected], then when I reply to any of the gmail accounts the from shows [email protected]. But if I reply to any non gmail account, the reply is correct, that is, from the non gmail account.

Ok, I found the problem, so just FYI for anyone who may have the same. The gmail accounts were set up as POP accounts. So I was using recent:[email protected] for the username to allow me to check the messages at home and work (so I will still see message at work after I had checked it at home). I had recent:[email protected] also listed under the account settings email address and reply to address. I removed the recent: from these 2 and now all works fine.
