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

To configure the name and return address included in all of your outgoing messages, do the following:

  1. Click the Options link on the left-hand navigation bar.
  2. Click the Preferences link on the right.
  3. In the Name field, enter your name exactly as you would like it to appear in the "From:" line of your outgoing messages.
  4. If you leave the Reply-To field blank, your Yahoo! Mail address will be automatically included as the return address in your outgoing messages. If you would like a different return address to be included, enter it in the Reply-To field.
  5. Click the Save Settings button to put your new settings into effect.
Please note that the Name field must contain a value. If it is left blank, the previous value will be restored and your changes will not be saved.
