Not sure what email you're using, but generally, go to "my account" or options & change your outgoing name.\n\n\nIn yahoo mail, at the far right of the screen, click on Options, then General Preferences.  Change your from name to whatever you want, then scroll down & click save.\n\n\nIf you're using POP mail (outlook or outlook express), go to Tools in the menu bar, then click on Accounts, then properties.  Change your name in user information to whatever you want people to see.

I think this works only for the Yahoo mail plus (subscribed accounts)\n\n\n\nFrom the Tools menu, select "Email Accounts." You may have to click the arrows. \nSelect the radio button next to "Add a new email account" and click the "Next" button. \nSelect the radio button next to "POP3" and click the "Next" button. \nEnter the following information: \nUser Information\n\nYour Name: Enter your name as you would like it to appear in the "From" field of your outgoing messages. \nEmail Address: Enter your full Yahoo! Mail address (for example, "user@yahoo.com").\nServer Information\n\nIncoming mail server (POP3):\n\n\npop.mail.yahoo.com \n\nOutgoing mail server (SMTP):\n\n\nsmtp.mail.yahoo.com \n\nLogin Information\nUser Name: Enter your Yahoo! ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com"). \nPassword: Enter your Yahoo! password.\n\nDo not check the box next to "Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA)." \nClick the "More Settings" box and select the "Outgoing Server" tab. \nCheck the box next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." \nIf you would like to keep a copy of your email messages on the Yahoo! Mail server, select the "Advanced" tab. Check the box next to "Leave a copy of messages on the server." \nClick the "OK" button. \nClick the "Next" button on the Email Account Wizard, then click "Finished." \nImportant: The Yahoo! Mail SMTP server requires authentication. To turn this setting on, follow these steps: \n\n\nClick "Tools," then select "Email Accounts." \nSelect "View or change existing email accounts" and click "Next." \nSelect your Yahoo! Mail account and click the "Change" button on the right. \nClick the "More Settings..." button in the bottom-right corner of the Email Accounts window. \nIn the Internet Email Settings window, click the "Outgoing Server" tab. Ensure that the box is checked next to "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication." \nClick the "Advanced" tab and ensure that you have not selected "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" under the incoming (POP3) or outgoing (SMTP) port settings. \nTo control deletion of messages from the Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps: \n\n\nFrom the Tools menu, choose "Email Accounts." \nSelect the radio button next to "Edit an existing account" and click the "Next" button. \nDouble-click the Yahoo! account. \nSelect the "Advanced" tab. \nIn the Delivery section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of messages on server" if you want to save your Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you want your messages to be deleted from the Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook, do not check this box. \nIf your ISP blocks port 25 or if you're unable to send email, then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. To make this change, please follow the directions below: \n\n\nFrom the "Tools" menu, select "E-mail Accounts" \nSelect "View or Change existing email accounts" and click on "Next" \nSelect your Yahoo! POP account and click on the "Change" button \nNext, click on "More Settings" \nClick on the "Advanced" tab \nNext to "Outgoing server (SMTP), change port 25 to 587 \nClick "OK", then click "Next" and "Finish"

You cannot change your Yahoo! ID but you can make new profiles by going to the profiles page and clicking on Edit My Profiles.\n\nYou can change your password by clicking on the My Account link at the top of every Yahoo! page. One of the first options is Change Password.\n\nIf it's absolutely necessary, you can get a new Yahoo! ID by signing out and then choosing to register when it asks you to sign in again (but it's not recommended).

Click on "My Q&A."  Then in the right corner, it says "Edit My Info" in blue, and it's underlined. Click that. Then it says "Use yahoo ID or pick a nickname" Select the "Use A Nickname" option, and type in your nickname in the box. Go down, hit "Preview" then "OK" and you're done! You now have a new name!

As far as I know,there is no way to change the name you start out with though you can start a new account. Not a big deal I guess, then just let everyone know of the change. Or you can upgrade to a paid service Good Luck

Hi,\n\nI don't think that can be done as the password control is safe in Yahoo's hand. At least I've never seen a program that can access a user profile to change a password. \n\nPerhaps you can explain the reason why you need to change the password frequently. Maybe someone will have a whole new set of solutions for you.
