How can I edit the "From" field in my messages?

So, you want to go as “Flip” instead of “Frances”? “HotShot” instead of “Lee”?

OK, we can do that. Adjusting “From” will change how your name appears in other peoples’ incoming mail.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Rogers Yahoo! Mail page and select Mail Options.
2. Under “Management”, click General Preferences.
3. Right at the top, 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”.
4. If you want, you can also adjust the email address to which people send messages when they click “Reply”. If you leave the “Reply to:” field blank, your Rogers Yahoo! Mail address is the return address. Specify a different return address by entering it after “Reply to:”.
5. Click Save to put your new settings into effect.

Note: “From” can’t contain special characters like the "@" symbol. And, the address in “Reply to:” can’t exceed 40 characters.
