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

• When I send an email to someone my nickname shows up along with my email address. My nickname is Sir P, but it shows up as Sirp P. How do I change this?

• Answer:

  You just need to correct the spelling (or change) the "from line" setting. Mail page>>options (top right)>>mail options>>and the "general" page opens. Near the top of that page is the setting for the "from line" name. If you don't like what is there----erase it and type in something else---a nickname or an alias or whatever suits you-----then click "save" changes at the top or 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.
