How to customize the email?

How do you customize outgoing email info?

• I want to change who my outgoing email says it's from

• Answer:

  If you mean change the name that shows on the from line of your outgoing emails---then go in and change the "from line" setting. This works for either version (Classic or 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 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 ??
