Can people see your name on yahoo?

How can I change the name people see when they recieve an email from me from yahoo.?

• Sometimes my full name is shown in the delivery message adn other the abbreviated name I desire. I would like to ensure that when other people receive an email from me from my yahoo account that the name tagged on the email is what I would like it to be. Hope that makes sense. thanks

• Answer:

  No problem. People receiving your emails, will see whatever is entered on the "from line setting", in options. So----Just go in and change the "from line" setting, in Yahoo. This works for both versions (Classic OR All New Mail) Mail page>>options>>mail options (or "more options" on the New 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 your real name---OR whatever you want----THEN click "save" changes at the top of that page. ......................................… You CAN'T leave that line blank. 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 ??
