Gmail overriding Hotmail account setting on ipad

Shortly after setting up Hotmail.ca on my iPad3, reading mail and sending mail, I noticed that the mail is being sent from gmail. I changed the default account and still the problem persists. I noticed that Gmail is overiding the Hotmail address account setting seconds after deleting the account and setting it up again. Here is three snapshots of that process.


1. Set up the account, below is exact moment when the account parameters are accepted as entered, before the window slides to options.




2. The above frame slides left having been accepted leading to the account options selection, note ACCOUNT is as entered.



3. Mere seconds later I witness the ACCOUNT feild change before my eyes to a gmail of mine automatically as shown below.




Thinking this was related to iCloud, I removed both accounts from my iPhone 4S and the iPad3, set up both emails on both devices and the problem persists on the iPad3, but not on the iPhone4S which never had the issue to begin with.



How do I resolve this?

David.

I'm not entirely sure what is happening then. Because I am able to send email from whichever account I choose when I choose to.


I have 8 different mails accounts. Selecting the account I want to email from has never been an issue.


If you are responding to an email received by one account it will generally default to that account for responce, but you can change that.



So without any more details to go on, its hard to say what it going on in your particular case. Perhaps the Description or email set for the hotmail account is wrong.

This problem still persists; the only way to keep gmail from overriding my hotmail account for sending replies is to delete the gmail account. The replies suggest selecting the hotmail as a default. I have. The replies suggest that this can't happen, it does. This is a serious issue for the iPhone. I need to be able to use multiple e-mail accounts and to reply from the appropriate account when replying. One suggestion says to select the account when replying the option for hotmail is not there but I have now the choice to select the gmail account twice.
