Why is my surname changed when I send email?

Changed my surname but when i send mail out my former name still appears! What do i do?

• Got married and changed my surname which is currently reflecting on my yahoo profile page but when i send out any email, the recipient sees my old name. Been trying to rectify this to no avail, what do i do?

• Answer:

  You also need to change the "from line" setting. Mail page>>options>>mail options (or "more options" on the New Mail)>>Accounts (from the list on the left)>>then click on "Yahoo Mail"---(middle of page, under "Accounts"). Now you can erase whatever is showing, on the "From line" and type in something else---a nickname----or your new last name or----whatever you want----THEN click "save" changes at the top of that page. You CAN NOT leave that line blank, otherwise Yahoo enters what was previously there or even sometimes puts "False" in place of a name. Some people say you have to log out and then back in, for the changes to be effective----but some find it's "not necessary"-----maybe it depends on your computer ??
