Change the name that appears on my outgoing emails
There is no way for me to change the name on the outgoing emails from our Yahoo Small Business account. I've tried all of the ways that the support team have given me, which look like they work until I send an email and the recipient still thinks they are talking with my boss instead of me. Solutions on the support site either don't work (https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Yahoo-Help-Community/ct-p/english), or are broken links (https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Tips-and-tricks/Sent-emails-show-wrong-name-in-Yahoo-Mail/td-p/445701/jump-to/first-unread-message). I'm pretty disappointed in this service that as far as i know we are paying $70 a year for.
You can update your sending name in Yahoo Mail, by going to Settings-More settings-Mailboxes, then click your account and then edit the ‘’Your name’’ section.

I just received an email for a seller asking me to leave feedback. My actual real name appeared in the salutation instead of just my login ID. This constitutes an INVASION OF PRIVACY. Fix this problem NOW!!!!!!

My name is *******. This is the name shown in "Personal Info." Yet when I send an email it shows up in the recipient's inbox that the email is from *********. My name is **********, but I want my emails that I send to show to be from ********. That is the name I go by.

My issue was erroneously merged with an unrelated issue. In Yahoo mail, when I view a mail that I sent, it has my name in the upper right corner. That's fine, but below that it says "Secretary." I have no idea why that is there and I see no way to remove it. Please do not merge this with an unrelated issue!

If you’ve misspelled part of your name, how do you fix it? Or if a woman is re-taking her maiden name, how does she change it?
