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

How can I change the name that appears when I email someone?

  • On Yahoo! Mail, when I email someone, I know I can change the name that appears in their inbox, but I don't know how. I know this much: 1. click "Mail Options" 2. In the column on the left click "Mail Accounts" 3. Click "Yahoo Mail" 4. Type the new name in the "Sending Name" box 5. ? I don't know how to save it?

  • Answer:

    There is no 'save' button, and that is not a good user interface, because people *expect* to need to save things. It probably takes effect close to immediately when you change it, or when you do the next thing whatever that is. Have you tried it? Make that change, go to the Inbox tab, create an email, send yourself an email and what shows up.
