If you prefer to send the message from another account, tap the From
field and choose one from the popover that appears.
Mail's preferences include an option to specify a default outgoing
account (go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars; tap the Default
Account button; and select one of your accounts). However, the setting applies
only when you're creating new messages in other apps, such as when you send
a link to a Web page in Safari. When you create a new message in Mail, the
message is addressed as coming from whichever account you're currently
viewing.

When you're finished, tap the Send button.
If you're not ready to dispatch the message, tap the Cancel button
and then tap Save to store the email in the Drafts folder for editing
and sending later.
note
Outgoing messages have the text “Sent from my iPad” appended to
the end, a bit of text called a signature. You can change the text in
Mail's preferences. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap the
Signature button. Edit the text to whatever you like, then apply the change
by returning to the Mail, Contacts, Calendars screen.
