How to change name displayed on email?

I have a business email acct - when I send an email it shows my name and I want it to show my business%26#039; name.|||You%26#039;ll have to go in (to that business account) and change the %26quot;from line%26quot; setting.





This is the NEW WAY to change the %26quot;from line%26quot; setting----the old way is no longer available.


This works the same on both versions---either Classic or New Mail.





Mail page%26gt;%26gt;options%26gt;%26gt;mail options (or %26quot;more options%26quot; on the New Mail)%26gt;%26gt;Accounts (from the list on the left)%26gt;%26gt;then click on %26quot;Yahoo Mail%26quot; (middle of page, under %26quot;Accounts%26quot;).





Now you%26#039;ll need to erase whatever is showing, on the %26quot;From line%26quot; and type in something else---your business name---or anything you want-----then click %26quot;save%26quot; changes at the top of page.


......................................鈥?br>

You CAN%26#039;T leave that line blank---otherwise Yahoo WILL insert something there, that you might not want. (sometimes the word False)


.............................


Some people say you have to log out and then back in, for the changes to be effective----but others say %26quot;not necessary%26quot;-----maybe it depends on your setup ??|||Yahoo has updated the method, but here it is.





CHANGE FROM NAME:





1. Click Options, More Options or Mail Options.


2. From the list on the left, click %26quot;Accounts.%26quot;


3. Click %26quot;Add or Edit an Account%26quot; It%26#039;s toward the middle of the page.


4. In the box on the left, click Yahoo Mail.


5. Click Edit.


6. In the %26quot;From Name%26quot; box, enter the name you would like displayed in the From box.


7. Click the Save button/icon to put your settings into effect.





PLEASE NOTE: The From Name field cannot contain special characters like the @ symbol. Also, the address in %26quot;Reply To%26quot; cannot exceed 40 characters.
