When I e-mail someone using yahoo my real name shows up. How can I change that so others won't find that out?

when I signed onto yahoo, I must have used my real name. I send e-mails out with out really knowing my name is there, I just wanted my screen name posted. Is there a way to change that?

Reply:You can change the FROM name and the REPLY TO address on the "General Preferences" page. The FROM name can't be blank but you can change it to anything including the email address itself.





✓ With Classic Mail - Click options / mail / general preferences (under management)





✓ With the All-New Mail - Click options / mail options / accounts / add or edit an account / edit

Reply:when you are signed in click my account on the top of the page and then enter your password and it will give you the details you can change them by clicking one of the edit buttons... just change your name or something like that there might be something else there too.
Reply:Go to Options, top right click it.


Then pick General Preferences


Then alter given name section, then 'save' at bottom.
