How do I change my email sender name?

How to change sender name in yahoo email ?

• I used to be able to change my sender name in "mail option" for the yahoo email, since this year, I am not able to, anyone knows how to ?

• Answer:

  Yahoo made some changes (again) but you can still change the "from line" name. Here's how: This works the same on both versions. (Classic OR All New Mail). Mail page>>options>>mail options (or "more options" on the New Mail)>>Accounts (from the list on the left)>>then click on "Yahoo Mail"---(middle of page, under "Accounts"). Now you'll need to erase whatever is showing, on the "From line" and type in something else---a nickname---or your real name---OR whatever you want----THEN click "save" changes at the top of that page. ......................................… You CAN'T leave that line blank. Some people say you have to log out and then back in, for the changes to be effective----but some find it's "not necessary"-----maybe it depends on your computer ??
