My name change does not reflect in sent mail
Regardless of what I do, my name will not change on outgoing mail

Thank you for your feedback.
To change the sending name in Yahoo Mail, please follow these instructions:
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN28072.html
Please note: Some third-party apps have their own sending name setting, which bypasses the Yahoo Mail setting. If the app you're using attaches a different name than the one saved in your Yahoo Mail settings, contact the manufacturer of the app for assistance.

Im quitting your platform, it's ridiculous, obviously I'm being hacked, and there is NO WAY to charge my password. I have read EVERY help article y'all published. NONE ARE CORRECT. Thanks for making my decision to leave your programs in the past easy. Your platform sucks for changing your password, Can't u see all the people having trouble with it? Or do u just alwaysignore your customers?

I already PAY for NO ADS with Yahoo Mail Pro. Now you call it something different, tell me in an email it will be "yours for the same low price" and you start shoving ads down my throat! Then if we cave and pay that ADDITIONAL cost, you'll just change the name again and charge even more? My GMail is FREE with NO ADS.

Obviously this is a matter that you need to fix, since there are several people here that the name showing in the settings is not the name that sent emails are going out with. Doesn't make any sense. Because it's free email it doesn't have to be correct or what. You should be embarrassed. Oh, I see when I sign in here it knows the correct name...

why my name appears as Yahoo Security instead of my name or email address. So most of my recipients ignore my mails? I tried everything but why is it becomes Yahoo Security?! This is not me anymore...

My last name only has two letters, why does the system keep telling me it's not valid? Who are you to tell me my last name is wrong?
I had to use my partner's last name to sign up for an account, I thought I could just change it back once it's set up, but the system is still discriminatory against my last name and won't let me change it!
This is outrageous! -

Trying to edit my "personal info" & even though it has let me adjust my name; it will not let me adjust my birthday. This was an account that my husband & I both have used to do research on cars/motorcycles/RV's/trips around the U.S. we would take.
It won't let me adjust his birthday, which I had a digit off. WHY WON'T IT LET ME EDIT IT?
Thanks. Trish/Roy Smith - Gallatin, TN

Account name & "Auto generated card" name DO NOT MATCH. I settings or account info, can change name but does not change on the card so the person receiving emails still sees the OLD NAME. This is an issue for those of us who have had names changes, ie getting married, etc.

BUG:
1. I change my name and surname in email preferences and save.
2. I write new email and send.
3. Recipient sees my older name and surname (before change). -

No matter how I many times I change my Personal Info page on Yahoo! Mail, my emails are always listed as from Yahoo Altaba Inc - NOT my actual name, so most of my recipients don't recognize that I am the sender. Please help me Yahoo Mail

I would love to see more Fields added to the Yahoo Profile. I have tons of ideas of New Profile Fields to be added but I will list only a few that I have in mind for now & if any of them are taken into consideration, I will post more Yahoo Email Profile Fields are needed & people truly want.
Here is my List of Profile Fields to be added to the Yahoo Email Profile:
1. Links to Our Social Media Profiles
2. Custom Website Links
3. Cover Image & Profile Logo (Like Facebook, Twitter & Most Other Sites)
4. Ability to Change Profile Theme or Colors quickly and easily. The ability to Select Themes & Create Themes would be best, because we could always Download Themes we all Create & Share them here on the Forum with Other Members.
5. About Me Field, Hobbies Field, Employment Field, Relationship Status Field, Sexual Orientation Field & Additional Information Field.
6. Contact Information Fields, such as Email Address, Skype, WhatsApp, WeChat, SnapChat, Signal, Discord, Telegram, Tagged, XBOX Gamertag, PlayStation GamerTag, DatChat, FaceTime, Skout & Other Messengers as there are tons of excellent Messengers for Android, iOS & Windows Devices.
7. Ability to Set the Main Profile & EACH FIELD to Private, Contacts Only, Friends Of Contacts, Friends of Friends of Contacts & Public.
8. Allow Profile Comments from those you choose to allow Profile Comments from using the Profile Privacy Settings listed above. Everyone loves Comments on their Profiles, generally.
9. Add a WYSIWYG HTML Text Editor to Profiles so Members can select their Fonts, Font Color, Font Size, Font Background Color, Add Code & ETC. This along with Profile Themes, Covers & Logos would be a MAJOR HIT with Yahoo Members I guarantee.Some Free WYSIWYG Editors that are excellent & user friendly include: CKEditor, TinyMCE, Editor.js, Bubble, Quill, Summernote & Content Tools. Please, please add one of these to our Profiles.
10. Profiles are also lacking is the ability & feature to search for People by their Profile Information they've entered, which at this time, there is very little Profile Information your could Search other than Name or Gender really. It would be wonderful if you could add some or all of the Features I am Requesting to Profiles to improve your Service for ALL Members.
With all the above being said, I would not even mind paying for a Premium Membership Monthly, Bi-Monthly, Every 6 Months or even Yearly, as long as we are given the option to select when we can pay and given Multiple Premium Membership Options & there is a Membership everyone can afford or the ability help those that cannot afford a Premium Membership by perhaps allowing Premium Members to purchase Gift Premium Memberships at Discount Rates to Gift to those that cannot afford it. One of the Premium Memberships could include a Free Gift Member Ship for 2 Weeks, 3 Weeks, a Month or Two Months or anything to help the less fortunate as we cannot leave them behind with this. An Affiliate Program would be awesome too if Premium Memberships are implemented.
MEMBERS: If you like my Ideas & Suggestions, please, please VOTE so we can get this moved to the Top and perhaps Yahoo will take notice & implement some of the Features. Please do not be afraid to add any Features for Profiles you feel we need that I missed also. If this gets no where, I will try a different method but please VOTE & ask EVERYONE you know to VOTE also.

Seems the only way is to delete the account on the iPhone and recreate it? Very inconvenient.
