How do i change my name in yahoo email?

How do I change the name on my yahoo account..When I write an email at the top of the page i need to change it?

• When I write an email It will say at the top of the email From "my name" and the will say my email address after that. I just got married and need to change my last name because that is the name everyone sees and uses that name to respond back to me no matter what I write my name as on the bottom of my email. I know it is a kinda silly thing but I just want to change it to my correct new last name.any help would be great!!! Thanks

• Answer:

  You just need to 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 your new last name---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 ??
