IMAP acct conflicts w/ POP acct

I just added an AOL IMAP email account.  Whenever I reply to one of my POP account emails, on send, the IMAP account hijacks the email and places it in the AOL IMAP account outbox.  Neither configuring for Identity or placing the %account macro in the reply template works.  Anyone know what is going on and what I can do to correct it?

Where are the messages located that you reply to? In a common folder or in an account folder based folder of the account you want to use?

Do you use an address book template that sets the account to the imap account?

What account is set as the default for mailto URLs?
(Account -> Properties -> General)

The messages are located in a common folder.  I haven't set any template to the IMAP account.  I didn't have a default mailto URL toggled.  However it is now toggle to the address that I desire.

The IMAP account email address started with the letter "a" and I think that is why it kept "hijacking" as common folders seem to default to the first account in ascending alphabetical order.  I had this problem before I added the IMAP email account.  It just behaved a little differently because of IMAP settings but I think the real problem is defaulting to first alphabetical account.

UPDATE:  after playing with the Default Mailto URL setting that seems to set the Active Account for the common folders which if true is a good thing and they don't default to alphabetical order and I don't have to  set ideentity for each and every folder and/or add account macro to templates.  I deleted the IMAP account temporarily but hopefully when I add it back it will behave in a desirable fashion, ie not hijack outbound replies from common folders.
