I don't understand the question? Do you want to know which address sent bitcoins to you? Or in which address you received them?

You can do it in a slightly clunky way with Electrum. You can mark addresses as "preferred" or "frozen" in the right way to get it to make the transaction you desire.

ok i see, so freeze all the ones you don.t want and prefer the one you do want....

I am a bit lost a to how the internal algorithm decides what to take fro where....?

I know that blockchain.info allows you to do this.

For MultiBit you cannot select the addresses/ outputs. It uses the oldest first until it has the required amount to send.

You can prioritize addresses so the client takes from those addresses before the other. Or you can freeze addresses so no balance is taken from them.

But you can't not freeze addresses to not receive Bitcoins on it, that is impossible, bitcoins are "received" in the blockchain, not local. You can always not share any other address with people, so they only know one.

FYI to be able to freeze or prioritize addresses you have to enable expert mode in electrum settings.

+1 for freeze and prioritize, Thinking of adding few tags later, hopefully as plugins so the main devs won't plainly shut me down >_>
