How do i change the name that shows up in peoples inboxes from my yahoo mail?

  • When i was in 7th grade and i made my yahoo email i set it as **~=-MY NAME-=~** its kind of weird for my employers and teachers to get emails from me with that name, and i want to know how to change it!! i dont know how to change how it shows up when people recieve mail from me...how do i chaange this?!

  • Answer:

    You just need to change the "from line" setting. Mail page>>options (top right)>>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 an alias or whatever suits you-----then click "save" at 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.
