Where can I set up a signature or From name for my Personal Address?

You can change the following settings for each of your Personal Address accounts:

  • Your "From Name": It's the name that recipients of your messages see when they receive email from you. We would guess that you would want this to be your full name—but it's up to you!
  • Reply-to Address: This is the address to which recipients of your email will send email when they click "Reply." This is one of the major benefits of Personal Address, since this is where people see, for example, you@yourname.com. But you can change this too, if you have a different address you'd like to insert.
  • The Email Signature: Add whatever signature you'd like to end your emails with. The most popular choice is to sign with your name and contact info, i.e., address and phone number(s).

To make changes to your From name, your Reply-to Address, or Signature:

  1. Click "Options" in the upper-right corner of the page.
  2. Under "Management," click "Mail Addresses."
  3. Click the account whose settings you want to change, then click "Edit."
  4. Update your preferences.
  5. Click "Save Changes."

If you choose not to set separate preferences for your separate addresses, your non-yahoo.com addresses defaults to the preferences chosen for your yahoo.com email address.
