        Hi,
the account order is for the folder list on the left of the Mail view.
It does not do anything else.

When you are in the Mail Accounts, you can select an account and mark
is as the default account. That's the one being used by default, when
no other rule overrides it.

When you go to the Edit->Preferences->Composer Preferences->Send
Account, you can set some rules which account should be used when. This
won't affect the calendar, I think, but it'll work for a new mail and
replies.

Do you mean none of the attendees mentioned in the meeting invitation
matches any of the mail accounts you've configured in Evolution? I know
it can happen, like when the invitation is sent to a group address.

        Bye,
