How do I change the name people see when they see my profile?

How do I change my display name when I send an email with Yahoo?

  • I want to change the name people see when I send an email. I have already changed this in my account profile, but when I send an email it still shows my old name. How can I change this?

  • Answer:

    Change how your name appears on your email. Click Options in the top-right corner of your Yahoo! Mail page and select Mail/More Options. From the list on the left, click Accounts. Click Yahoo! Mail under Accounts In the your 'From' name" field, enter your name exactly as you'd like it to appear within your outgoing messages If you leave the Reply-To field blank, your Yahoo! Mail address will be automatically included as the return address in your outgoing messages. If you'd like a different return address to be included, enter it in the Reply-To field Click the Save button to put your new settings into effect. *****************************~~~~~~~~~… Or, You can make an alias account it's an extra account with in your main one http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias click on the blue link to do that. Have a great day, Jes :)

From your email page click Options, then More Options then Accounts. On that page you will see "yahoo mail". Click on that. In there is a box to place "your from name". Then click save changes. That name will appear in front of your actual email address. Its hidden pretty well isnt it?
