Why is my draft email sent from wrong account, even though i'm on the right email account?

I've got several email accounts and some of them are for my business and some my personal email accounts. In most cases i write an email from my business email account and saves it in drafts to double check spellings and that everything is correct. If i check for new emails at my private account and goes back to the draft in business account and sends it, it will be sent from my private account

This must be a bug right? In my opinion is that if an email is created in one account and stored as a draft in the same email, if i send that it should be sent from the account that it was created at.

It's soo embarrassing and unprofessional to send emails to customers from my personal account.

Can anyone help me with this? Maybe its just a setting thing or in worst case a bug that needs sorted out.

Open Tools/Account Settings, select an account in the left pane, then look at the entry for Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the right pane. Is the server domain the same as for the incoming server, e.g. the gmail account uses the gmail smtp server or the verizon account uses the verizon smtp server? Some services don't allow messages to be sent on their smtp server, but from a different account.

I've checked what you suggested and all email accounts have their own outgoing email server (defaults to that on each account).

Any other suggestions?

No add-ons at all, except Lightning (which is a add-on that is included in Thunderbird by default, right?).
