outlook-2013

I am using Outlook 2013 and I have multiple accounts configured:

AccountA (IMAP) - default account
AccountB (Exchange)

(There are others but I don't think it's directly relevant)

I have been receiving Outlook meeting requests via AccountB and duly accepting them. All of my meetings, whether recorded manually or via meeting requests are saved in the calendar for AccountA (this works fine).

I have discovered today that even though meeting requests are arriving via AccountB, the accept/decline messages that Outlook generates on my behalf (when I click the accept/decline button) are addressed from AccountA. I don't believe that I have any control over the address used to reply. This seems non-intuitive at best. I understand that the underlying calendar is in AccountA, but in every other scenario the "From" address in a reply to a message defaults to the account it was sent to.

Can I change this behaviour so that it works as I expect?
