How do I change my name in Yahoo mail?

How to change "from" mail name in yahoo mail?

• Want to change the name in the "from" category when I send mail to something else....but can't find out how...no menu in mail that I can find allows that change. Any ideas? A phone number for yahoo mail questions maybe?

• Answer:

  You just need to change the "from line" setting. Mail page>>options (top right)>>mail options. The "general" page opens----(or, you may have to scroll to and click on "general preferences"). At the top of that page----erase the name that shows on the From line and type in something else---a nickname or your real name---- or whatever suits you-----then click "save" changes at the top or bottom of page. Just in case you're using the "New Mail". Mail page>>options>>mail options>>accounts (side panel)>>add/edit an account>>Yahoo mail (side panel)>>edit>>general preferences----and change it and save it.
