2. Create an E-mail and sync it with C4C.
3. The E-mail gets created in the E-Mail Activity view of the Activities work center.
4. The E-Mail is assigned to the Primary Contact.
5. If their is no Main Contact available in the Account, then the E-mail activity selects any available Contact of the Account as Primary Contact.

The behavior is scoping dependent.

The automatic determination of Primary Contact/Arbitrary Contact can be turned off through fine-tuning the Involved Parties for E-mails. Under Party Role Assignment, you can disable determinations for Contact of Account. After this is turned off, Primary Contacts will no longer be automatically determined, and Arbitrary Contacts also will not be determined for the synchronized E-mail.
