How do I change the name people see when they see my profile?

I have changed last name under my Yahoo profile?

  • and it still keeps coming up the same when I email someone. I'm divorced and have used my maiden name, which I would like people to see when I email them. However, I can't get the correct last name to show up when I email people. How do I change that? (I looked at my profile and it looks like the only name they have for me is the one I want.) I just don't get it. Thanks in advance for the help.

  • Answer:

    On mail page, click on "options" and then on "general preferences". The first thing up, shows how your name appears on the email. You can change it here to whatever you want and then click "save" at bottom of page. This won't change your actual address----just the way your name appears on the from line.
