How do i hide my name from sending to a recipient?

How do you hide your name when sending emails?

  • I just want it to show my email when I compose new message not my name. [email protected] not name<[email protected]>

  • Answer:

    Just change the "from line setting". Mail page>>options>>mail options (or "more options" on the New or Beta Mail)>>Accounts (from the list on the left)>>THEN click on "Yahoo Mail"---(middle of page, under "Accounts"). Now you can erase whatever is showing, on the "From line" and type in something else---a nickname---or initials---OR ? whatever you want---(even the address itself)---THEN click "SAVE" changes at the top of that page. You CAN NOT leave that line blank, otherwise Yahoo enters what was previously there or even sometimes puts "False" in place of a name. Some people say you have to log out and then back in, for the changes to be effective----but some find it's "not necessary"-----maybe it depends on your computer ??
