• How do change my yahoo email id without it affecting my old mail and also contacting my pals about the change

• Answer:

  You cannot change your original email ID, but you can add an ALIAS email address to this account, make it your primary email address, thereby making your original email address the secondary one Once you have generated your alias (see below) this is how you make the change. Click on OPTIONS....MAIL OPTIONS...Go to the left and click on ACCOUNT INFORMATION. Reenter your password. Once in you will see the list of your email addresses. Your original one will be on top followed by PRIMARY and CHANGE. Click on CHANGE. Click on the circle to the left of your alias email address. Go below and click on SAVE. Now when you are in the NEW, FORWARD or REPLY formats the alias will be displayed in the FROM line. If you want to use the original email address just click on the down arrow on the right side of the FROM line to bring it up. Clicking on it will replace the other email address. Doing this will essentially change your ID. You will also, by doing this, not lose anything from your original account. IE: emails, contacts etc. Any email sent to either address will go to the same inbox and you can sign in to either email address with the same password. There does not seem to be a good way in the NEW format. If in the NEW format go back to CLASSIC to accomplish this.... http://us.mc598.mail.yahoo.com/mc/launch If you want to go back to the NEW version just click on "Newest version of Y!
