• Answer:

  All YOU have to do is change the "from line" setting----It automatically reflects the name on your account IF YOU don't change it. Options>>mail options>>Accounts (from the list on the left)>>THEN click on "Yahoo Mail"---(middle of page, under "Accounts"). Now you can erase whatever is showing, on the "From line" (or "send as") and type in something else---a nickname---or initials---OR ? whatever you want---even just your address----THEN click "SAVE" changes (or the +sign)---whichever is available. You CAN NOT leave that line blank, otherwise Yahoo enters what was previously there. Some people say you have to log out and then back in, for the changes to be effective----but most find it's "not necessary"-----maybe it depends on your computer ??
