Change of email address name?

I have had [email protected] as a free email for many years. Is it possible to change the name? or get a totally new one?

Thanks

  • Your original e-mail address is the ID and that can't be changed. You are able to have an extra e-mail address that is linked to the ID. All e-mails will go into the same inbox.

    The only way you can do it without having to open a new account is to add an extra address. If you would like to do that here is how to do it.

    1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of your Mail page.

    2. Under “Management”, click Mail Addresses.

    3. In the “Extra Email Address” section, click Get Started.

    4. Either type whatever new address you’d like to try (we’ll tell you if it’s already taken), or use one of our suggestions on the right.

    5. Click Choose.

    Now your extra address appears in the list of Yahoo! Mail accounts shown on this page. To help prevent spamming, we only allow you to change your extra address twice in one year.

    To make the address your default you need to do this.

    1. Click Options in the upper-right corner of the page and select Mail Options.

    2. Under “Management”, click Mail Addresses.

    3. In the list of addresses, click your extra address.

    4. In the box to the right, next to “Sending Mail”, click Make Default.

  • Of course. Just go to yahoo.com and click on "mail." On the bottom right of the page there is a link that reads "sign up." Click the link, enter your information and desired address and then you will be ready to go with a brand new email.

  • you may no longer exchange the e mail tackle - you may although exchange the call on the account - by using enhancing your mail alternatives and putting your new call, yet that would not exchange your e mail tackle in case you decide directly to alter your yahoo e mail tackle you will could desire to get a sparkling one
