• Answer:

  You're going to have to go into your settings and change the "from line" setting. Mail page>>options>>mail options>>and the "general" page opens. Near the top of that page----erase whatever is showing, on the "From line" and type in something else---a nickname or your real name---or anything you wish-----then click "save" changes at the top of page. ......................................… You cannot leave that line blank---otherwise Yahoo will insert something there---either the account name or most likely "False". ......................................… 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.
