    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.

    Is this bug ever going to be fixed? I have updated my firstname, surname and preferred name, but my outgoing emails display the old name.

    Your instructions (https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN28072.html) are most unhelpful, in particular:
    -----
    "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."

    >>> I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER IN THIS CASE IS YOURSELVES??? SO PLEASE COULD YOU ASSIST AND FIX! THANK YOU.
