I just want to change the name of my email to something more fitting for a high school-er. I don't want to have to move everything to a different email account though. Is it possible?How do you change your email name?There is an easy solution - get an 'alternate' or 'alias' account for a Yahoo Mail address.
When you add another name to the present account you will not lose anything - contacts, address list. Send an email to all your contacts with the new email address. If someone sends mail to the old e-mail address, it will go to the same Inbox so you don't lose any messages. You do not need to inform anyone of the new address - there is a drop-down menu at the right in From: where you can choose which address to use for sending from either account.
* Click the link below to get an extra email address for your existing account. Use it just as you would for your primary address (which of course you can still use). You can send and receive email from either address from the same Inbox.
