go to your contact details on the main messenger screen and change them. Look around at the tabs on your messenger, the first one will have a ton of options for privacy.

Probably only if you are changing your identity to protect yourself.  I can't think of another instance.  Even when you change your name, you get the same #.

hi\nin any mail server when you log in with your id to mail some one there is usually a link with label " mail option" in there you can find mail performance or something like that . in that page you can change your name that appear in the top of your send mails :)

I think the "main" name you use is probably your email account's ID. For instance, I have a different email account (for message board timeouts) at wheezer_4269@yahoo.com - if I wanted to chat under a different ID (perhaps to not unwittingly reveal my email account), I could use a different profile ID, such as "wheezer213232323" or whatever else I have associated with that account.

In Yahoo, you have to edit your profile information. When you first signed up to use your screen name, you put, first, last, etc. Go back and remove the anme you can use initials instead

yeah that happened to my step daughter the other day (on yahoo). It said someone else was in her name, we changed it that night and the very next day it did it again. We reinstalled it twice, and changed the pasword again. So far it hasn't occurred again. My zone alarm also said yahoo was doing some sort of suspicious behavior like spying or keylogging or something?????

Basically, both of them are the same as my Yahoo Answers ID. I know, I lack originality with names. Prefer using Yahoo IM though.
