Why is my full real name showing up when I sent an IM?

My ID is fine but how do I keep my name from showing up on a sent email?

  • In the box on an email that shows who sent it, I don't want my actual name showing up there. My yahoo ID is fine to show. I just don't want people having my name.

  • Answer:

    With your email page open 1. Click options -- top right of page 2. click general preferences-- middle column 3. name and email - from name --- type in name you want to be on email other receive from you 4. !!! top left - click save!!

Go to your mail Options page then to General Preferences and take your name out and put what you want in and save.

I know what you mean, I had the same issue, the only way to avoid that is to create an email account WITHOUT using your real name. The best way is to use a first name real or not, and only one initial for the last name when you sign up for a new email account.
