Currently my gitconfig contains the following line:

Whereas, the following results in an 'account' not found error:

	sendemail.smtpserveroption=-a <myaccount>

Do you mean that your ~/.gitconfig literally contains that exact line?
I would be surprised to hear that syntax works --- see [1] for the
syntax I would expect to work.

If you have more details, that would help.

Thanks,

Yes that's the exact line in my gitconfig file, which correctly mails 
using the non-default account I'm after - I'm assuming you're noticing 
the lack of camelCase? To be honest, that came from zsh autosuggestions, 
which are all lower-case for some reason.

My question is just regarding the syntax of the smtp server option, 
namely about the (lack of a) space
