Is there a way where you can get Siri to use a specific email account to send messages?

I have multiple mail accounts (three) on my phone - work, personal (gmail), and one that's affiliated with a volunteer group. I set them up in that order. When I last sent new message using Siri, it defaulted to use my gmail account. I can't seem to figure out the command to get Siri to use a specific account. Does anyone know how to do this?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5

I don't know enough about Siri yet, but I would imagine that it links to the email account listed as "Default Account" toward the bottom of the Mail Settings options (Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Default Account).


If true, to link Siri with a different account, you would have to switch the default email account.


Give it a try and let me know if that works?

It definitely links to the default e-mail address. For whatever reason, even though I created the gmail account second, it made tht the default. However, what I still need to find out is how to get Siri to change the sending account. I know that this can be done with the phone itself, but not if you started the message by using Siri (or, if you can, it's not obvious).
