How can I get my real name off e-mails that I send?

How do I get my correct full name and yahoo email address to go to the from line of emails?

  • I started using an old yahoo ID. My profile has my correct ID. When I send an email to someone or to my alternate ID, the full name is incorrect and give someone elses (an old contacts) name with a Mr in front of the Yahoo email address. In addition, when I log into yahoo and go to Mail, I get my correct ID on the top line, but where it displays "Good Morning Mr" (and no other name). My emails go to right email addresses that I type in. My contacts file only has 2 in it, so that is not the problem, Please help: How do I get my correct full name and yahoo email address to go to the from line of emails, and How do I get to talk to someone at Yahoo if I have a problem to discuss?
