That's the way it is supposed to be.
The "To:" that is shown in mail clients comes from the header of the message. The
message header is created by the E-mail client (the sender of the message), except for
a few headers that get added along the way.
Often E-mails get sent to multiple people. Using the "To:" field, all of them get the
exact same message, with the same initial headers.
In IMail, you're lucky, because you *can* see <another account> (although nobody else
receiving the message will). It's hidden in the headers in the "X-RCPT-TO: " field.
Using the "To:" field actually is going to work very well for me, as I have a domain
name with a bunch of different E-mail addresses that all come to me. Since I
configured my E-mail client to get the mail, I already know what the <another account>
is. And, through the "To:" field, I can see the actual E-mail address that it was
sent to.
