GK,

The From: box in Evolution should be selectable. You should be able to
choose the account you want to use. I'm no evolution expert, but I
believe it sends based on that selection. 

Slightly different situation for me. I have two accounts, one pop3 and
one imap. If I send mail from both accounts at the same time, the pop up
box only shows it sending to one SMTP server, but I believe I previously
proved that it actually used both configured SMTP servers.

HTH.
