How do I change my name that shows up on my emails in yahoo?

How do I change the name that shows up in the "from" section of emails I send from Yahoo?

  • I've checked my profile and all the usual settings, and everything shows up correctly. However, when I send an email from my Yahoo account, it has the wrong name in the "from" section. I followed the Yahoo Answers directions offered 10 months to 4 years ago, but those instructions no longer apply. Any suggestions?

  • Answer:

    CHANGE FROM NAME: 1. Click Options, Mail Options from the top right of your yahoo mail page. 2. In the column on the left, click "Accounts." 3. On the accounts page that opens, click Yahoo Mail. 4. Go to the window on the right, across from "From Name." 5. Delete what is in there and enter the name you want displayed in outgoing mail. 6. Most important, go to the top left of this window and click the Save Changes Icon.
