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

How do I change the way my name shows up when people receive emails from me?

• I just married and I need to change the way people see my name when they receive mail from me. It still shows my previous name even though I changed it in my profile.

• Answer:

  Yes, you can change how your name appears on your outgoing email. Adjusting the "From" field changes how your name appears in other peoples' incoming mail. You can also adjust the email address they'll send a message to when they click "Reply." http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/basics/basics-20.html - Last Updated: July 16, 2010 Here's how to do it: Click Options in the upper-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. You have to write something in the "Name" field. If left blank, whatever was written there before will be restored and your changes won't be saved. Please note that it isn't possible to 'hide" your email address when sending messages from a Yahoo! Mail account. When you send a message, your address will appear in the "From" field in the header of the message. Note: “From” can’t contain special characters like the "@" symbol. And, the address in “Reply to:” can’t exceed 40 characters. Best of Luck to You.
