How do I change my display name for my yahoo email account?

Yahoo email question!!?

  • so i wanted to change my email address but keep the same account. yahoo let me create a second name for my account but to sign in and my display are my first email account. is there a way to switch my primary with the new secondary for everything. or do you guys think i should choose a new email and forward stuff from my old email to a new account. if i weren't to choose yahoo what do you think is the best email server?? gmail, sent.com etc.!! thanks!!

  • Answer:

    Unfortunately, you can't change the "prime" or default email address, so you'll have to stick with that one. However, you can log in with the second address and once you do this, it can be used as your sign in name. You will see it on the top of the page instead of your prime account. As for getting a whole new account, you can't forward email from a Yahoo account unless you have one of the premium, paid services, like Yahoo Plus. I don't think gmail is as good as Yahoo. Yahoo offers way more services in my opinion, so I would stick with Yahoo.
