Hi Peter,
  Two accounts work fine on mine. I am also using Evolution 2.24.3 on
Ubuntu 8.10 with any updates. I have two accounts, one on Exchange Labs
and one on gmail. I only set it up this morning, and had problems with
Exchange, so I gave up and just got it to work with POP3 and smpt. Gmail
was working fine for send and receive, but Exchange wasn't sending until
I got the configuration right. After reading your message, I sent two
emails between the accounts, and after reading the headers I am pretty
sure that the sender account's smtp server is used, and not just the
default one. I also believe this would be refused by a decently setup
smtp server.
 Perhaps there is a problem with your settings, does the [check for
supported (authentication) types] work when you set up smtp for the
secondary account? Have you checked the headers? Are you working from
within a firewall (they can be nasty too)?
Cheers,
Nick
