Changing display name on Yahoo! Mail?

  • Okay, so when I set up the account, I put in 'Tara Anderson' because that was my penname. However, I'm having trouble because people don't know it's me. How do I change the display name on the mail I send to another name? (Ex: In the 'From' box, it says: "Tara Anderson" <[email protected]> How do I change the name in quotes?) Thanxxxx as always, xoxoxoxo Rei

CHANGE "FROM" NAME IN YAHOO MAIL 1. Click on the "Options", Mail Options link in the upper right of your yahoo mail page. 2. When the options page opens, click on "General Preferences." 3. At the top of the page that opens, in the box across from "From", click in the box and delete what you have there, and then enter a nickname or whatever you would like displayed in outgoing mail. 4. Go to the bottom of the page and click the "Save" button. The Mail Options page has changed for some of us, so if the above doesn't open for you, do the following. 1. Click Options, Mail Options. 2. Go to the left navigation bar and click on "General." 3. Change your name in the box across from From. 4. Click "Save Changes" above and to the left of the window next to the icon that looks like a diskette.

You change your first name and last name to something else, that is how you do it. Unless you pay for the POP service and use outlook express, then you can change it to whatever you want in that program.
