  • Answer:

    You need to change your "From" and that will fix your problem. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Yahoo! Mail page. Under “Management”, click General Preferences. Right at the top, in the “From name:” box, enter your name how you’d like it to appear in the "From:" line of your outgoing messages. Example: “Sally Tiptoes”. If you want, you can also adjust the email address to which people send messages when they click “Reply”. If you leave the “Reply to:” field blank, your Yahoo! Mail address is the return address. Specify a different return address by entering it after “Reply to:”. Click Save to put your new settings into effect. Note: “From” can’t contain special characters like the "@" symbol. And, the address in “Reply to:” can’t exceed 40 characters. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/settings/settings-30.html If you are using the All New Mail then it is a little different. They still are working on the set up. Click Options >Mail Options >Accounts >Add Or Edit Account >Edit >Save
