You can select the account to use by either of:

a/ before clicking on Compose, click on the account name on the
   lower right corner of the sylpheed window, then change to the
   desired account.  This remains the current account until you
   change it back (or exit sylpheed).

b/ after clicking on Compose, in the Compose message dialog,
   the From: line is a drop-down menu with all of the known
   accounts.  Just change it to the desired account.
   This is only for the current message.
