The default account is only a convenience.

When you create a new message, evolution automatically fills in the
sender information with the default account.  

If you have only one account, of course, that's the one you would have
to use.  

If you have more than one account, the default is selected but you have
the option to choose any other account available.

You may choose any account you have created for any message you compose
or to which you reply.
