How can I edit my email address?

How do I EDIT the name/s associated with my email address in messages sent?

  • My now deceased wife and I shared a specific Yahoo email address for a number of years. Then/and now, messages sent using that address show as being sent from "My First Name & Her First Name, Our Last Name" <the actual email address>. I want to maintain the same email address but want to delete her first name. HOW DO I DO THIS?

  • Answer:

    Assume you're using Yahoo ?? You just have to 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----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 ??
