Help w/ Yahoo Mail - how to change the name that shows up in e-mails?

[alien_host]

I'm trying to change my info so my name shows properly when people receive e-mails from Yahoo. I can't seem to find it. I went to "profile" and Info and changed it there but when I send myself an e-mail it's still the old name. WTH?

Help!

Go to your profile. Click on Account Information on the right hand side (it will ask for your password). Click "Edit Profile Details." A screen will come up and it will show your full name and your display name. Click "edit" and adjust the display name to say whatever you want. HTH

hey thanks, both the "full name" and "display name" show "Mary Smith" but when I send an e-mail it shows "Mary Jones" as the sender. I don't see Jones anywhere in my profile. I probably signed up w/ Jones but want to change it to Smith.

I changed it to what I want and it appears at the top of my Yahoo page but not in the "from:" when I sent myself a test.

From your Yahoo Mail start page:

Options

Mail Options

Accounts

Yahoo Mail (you need to click on it to highlight it)

In the middle of the page it says "Your 'From' Name"

Problem solved :)
