How do I change the name displayed on outgoing email?

How do I change the name displayed in my email?

• When I got married, my last name changed. I went into 'my account info' within yahoo and changed my name there, but every time I send out an email it says it's from my old name. Anyone have any ideas how I can get the name associated with my email address corrected???

• Answer:

  It's not a good idea to expose your full name, but just your first name or a nickname will suffice. The process has changed with Yahoo Updates. CHANGE "FROM/DISPLAY" NAME IN YAHOO MAIL 1. Click on the "Options", Mail Options link in the upper right of your yahoo mail page. 2. Click Accounts in the column on the left. 3. Click on Yahoo Mail in the window that opens to the right. 4. Go to the box across from "From", click in the box, delete what you have in there, and enter a nickname, email address or whatever you would like displayed in outgoing mail. 5. Most important, go to the top left of this window and click the Save Changes icon.
