• Answer:

  FROM NAME CHANGE This link covers it... http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN8675&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NEWEST FORMAT Hover your pointer over the GEAR...upper right...Select SETTINGS... You should already be in ACCOUNTS. Click on EDIT to the right of your email address. Change what you want it to be. Don't include special characters, such as "@". If you leave the box empty, recipients won't see a sending name on your email, but they will continue to see your email address, which you can't hide. If you leave the REPLY-TO ADDRESS blank replies to your emails will come back to your email address. Click Save. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... NEW FORMAT Hover your arrow over the GEAR (upper right)Click on Mail Options.. in the left column click on MAIL ACCOUNTS...Add what you want your From name to be in the SENDING NAME BOX....click on SAVE NOTE: The FROM name, if blank, will display your email address in the FROM line when in the NEW, REPLY or FORWARD mode and that is what your recipients will see in their inbox. If you leave the REPLY-TO ADDRESS blank replies to your emails will come back to your email address. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... ME is only displayed in your email account. Your recipients will see your From name and email address when they open it up...If you want to remove ME from your view....this is how...and I will add a few things for your info. if it is confusing just remove that check mark to the left of "Conversations/Show snipets"..click SAVE To display the options you can get by SORT BY DATE in the New format do the following. Hover the pointer over the GEAR...upper right Click on SETTINGS....remove, if any, check marks to the left of Enable Conversations/Show snipets...if you do not see it click on VIEWING EMAIL....click SAVE when done. Now when your inbox is displayed click on VIEW above your emails on the right side to bring up drop down menu with those options. NOTE; to place the check marks to the left of Enable Conversations/show snipets click on VIEWING EMAIL....place the check mark in the box left of Enable Conversations...click on SAVE. You should do this so when you click on VIEW above the emails the drop down menu will be mostly different and you will know the different options and how to access the different views. NOTE; leaving the check mark to the left of Enable Conversations/show snipets will change the format as follows. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... When your inbox email list is displayed you will see part of the text following the Subject matter. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... When you Reply/Forward an email the original text will be above your your added text. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... When you send/receive messages you may see "ME" instead of your email address in your Inbox and Sent folders when observing your emails. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... If you receive more than one message with the same SUBJECT you might end up with one email displayed with a numeral after the senders name indicating how many you have. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++... I still have not figured out how to change the SUBJECT when you forward/reply to an email..Until that is solved you will have to remove the check marks as described above to go to the other format.
