What is the host/server name for Yahoo! Mail?

Mistyped my name when I signed up for Yahoo mail - my sent mail has typo. Can I correct this?

  • In a misguided attempt to foil spammers I spelled my name in a creative way when I signed up for Yahoo. Didn't do anything to stop spammers and now whenever anyone receives e-mail from me my name has a typo in it. Would like to correct the spelling because everyone I know has this e-mail address and would rather not change to a new one. Is there any way to correct the spelling. My profile has the spelling correct, but that's not where Yahoo pulls the name from to tell the receiver of mail who it was sent from. Can't seem to get to location where the name is not spelled correctly. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    Easy... 1) Go to the upper left link "options" (after logging into mail.yahoo.com) 2) Under "Management" go down a few listings to "General Preferences". Click on it. 3) On the top you have "From name". Change it to whatever you like, then scroll down and click the "save" button. If this helps you, please mark this as the best answer....
