How do I change the name on my e-mail?

Hi, how do i change the 'from' name which appears in the email recipients inbox when i send an email?

  • When I send an email from my new yahoo account, it shows my personal name in the FROM column of the account I have sent the email to. I'd like to change that to my company name and I have attempted to do this by changing the first and last name options to my company name under the account settings in Yahoo, but when I tested this, my personal name still appears in the 'FROM' column of the receipients email account. Does anyone know how I can change this so that my company name shows under the FROM column. Many thanks :-)

  • Answer:

    -log into Yahoo! Mail -click 'Options' -click 'General Preferences' -change the name in the from box -click 'save' ======= -Jake

Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options. Click ‘General Preferences’. In the "From name:" box, enter your name how you'd like it to appear in the "From:" line of your outgoing messages. Example: "Jane Doe", This is the name people will see in their Inboxes for messages from you. You can leave the "Reply to:" field blank, so your Yahoo! Mail address is automatically the return address when others reply to you. Or, you can specify a different return address by entering it after "Reply to:". Click Save to put your new settings into effect. Note: The "From name" field can't contain special characters like the "@" symbol. And, the address in "Reply to:" can't exceed 40 characters. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/settings/settings-30.html
