XF 2.3 How to change the email address in Communication/Activity Summary/Send Test Email?

Perhaps this is buried somewhere deep in some configuration menu somewhere, but I can't find it.

In Setup/Options/Basic options, I have both "Default email address" and "Contact email address" set to one email account, let's call it A.

In Setup/Options/Email Options, both "Default email address" and "Contact email address" show email account A.

However in Tools/Test Outbound Email, the email address that shows up is an old address that I have not had access to for more than six years. Call it B. I can manually overwrite this email address, and the test runs fine with the overwritten address, but every time I return to the page it displays email address B.

Worse, if I go to Communication/Activity Summary/Send Test Email, the email address that is being used is B - and I am not given the option to manually overwrite it. There is no way that I can determine to overwrite the email address (and use this test feature).

Is there a way I can edit email address B so that it uses email address A? (Is this a bug?)

When you go to that page where you send the Outbound Test email, the address it's pulling is from your actual user account you're logged in with. (Just FYI)

This is also, same as above.

I'd be a little worried if your personal account has an email address assigned that you haven't used in years.

Ah nm... I found it. I have several different accounts that I use for the site - my "personal" account and my "admin" account. The only thing I use my admin account for is logging into the control panel, and I keep that account separate from my personal "user" account. Even though I have emails being forwarded to a separate admin email address - the default address (in Xenforo) associated with that account is the old one.
