I corrected the spelling of my name on my yahoo email, but it still displays incorrectly. What do I do?

I signed up for a new yahoo email account in a hurry and left out one letter in my name. I went to "My Account" and edited the contact name, but it still shows up incorrectly when I send email. What am I doing wrong? It looks like everything has been corrected, but my name is somehow still in the system wrong. Help!

You need to change your "From" and that will fix your problem.


1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page and select Mail Options.


2. From the list on the left, click Accounts.


3. Click Add or edit an account 鈥?it鈥檚 toward the middle of the page.


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


5. Click Edit.


6. In the "From name:" box, enter your name how you'd like it to appear in the "From:" line of your outgoing messages. Example: "Sally Tiptoes." This is the name people will see in their Inboxes for messages from you.


7. You can leave the "Reply to:" field blank, so your Yahoo! Mail address is automatically the return address when others reply to you. Or, you can specify a different return address by entering it after "Reply to:".


8. Click Save to put your new settings into effect.


Note: The "From name" field can't contain special characters like the "@" symbol. And, the address in "Reply to:" can't exceed 40 characters.

If you are using the All New Mail then it is a little different.
