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

I do not want my name showing up on the new email I created. How do I change the name from whom my new email?

  • How do I change the name from whom my new email is showing as who it is coming from? For instance, I'd like my new email to show a different identity name, ie., "New Name", instead of what it shows with my primary email. Thanks.

  • Answer:

    For Yahoo Mail, you can change your "From" name in the Options menu. 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 in it, 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.

You will have to change the "from line" setting----but since you didn't say what mail service you're using---I'll just assume you're referring to Yahoo. With Classic Mail: 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.
