Interesting. I believe I have a similar setup and it works as it should. Just to confirm: you have one Identity and three email accounts associated with it, rather than three Identities each with one email account? (For the expected former you'd see all the email accounts in separate trees in your Folder list; for the latter you'd select the Identity at start up and be able to change it from the File menu, and see email from one account at a time in your Folder list.)
My email is set up with one identity and two separate email accounts.
When you select Tools->Internet Accounts and the Mail tab, do you get your three different accounts listed? And when you create or reply to a mail, is the From field a drop-down box from which you can select the account you want?
The behaviour I get is that when you reply, the default From field is the account the email came into. When you create mail the default From field depends on which folder was selected in the Folder list.
If you want to go through all the IE options on your parents' setup and mine looking for some subtle difference then give me a call. I'll email the phone number to your personal and work addresses (and check here also in case you can't access those at the moment!)
