How do I change the name that appears when someone receives my email?

When someone receives a yahoo e mail from me i would like to change how the name appears?

  • instead of appearing as "john doe" i want it to appear as acme_billing. I use this to send invoices to people, and when they see a name they don't know, its marked as spam. I have found a way to change the name on the account, but when I change it, the name still appears as "john doe" in the address when someone receives the e mail. Thanks for the help!

  • Answer:

    Go to your inbox page, upper right Options> Mail Options From: Put what name you want to show before your email address, in this "from" box.

Just 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 own name----or anything you wish-----then click "save" changes at the top of page. ................................ note---that line can't be left blank, otherwise Yahoo enters your account name--- or sometimes "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.
