My yahoo email has my REAL name in front of it "name" <email@yahoo.com> - How do I get rid of it?

I've checked my my account settings - everything - how do I get rid of the "name" in front of my email?

My yahoo email has my REAL name in front of it "name" %26lt;email@yahoo.com%26gt; - How do I get rid of it?
I'm sorry, but the answers given above are incorrect! This is what you should do:





For Yahoo! mail classic:


click "options" (top right) on your mail page, click "general preferences". In "name and e-mail" you may change which name appears in the "from" field for mails you want to send. In "reply to" changes are also possible. Make sure you save your new settings!





For New Yahoo! mail:


click "options" (top right) on your mail page, click "mail options", an info box will be displayed, click "ok", click "general preferences", from here on follow directions as given for mail regular.





Note: in both mails you should sign out and back in again to make sure that the settings are taking affect.
Reply:You can't. You have to open a new account with a different name or phrase before the "@".





The answer 2 spaces below is completely incorrect. He is describing how to change how your name appears in the "from" line in an e-mail, NOT how to change your e-mail address. He obviously has not read your question carefully and is not offering anything useful.
Reply:you are going to just have to sign up for a new email address. I suggest keeping your real name address in addition to the new one. It looks more professional to have an email address with your real name for resumes and other things.
Reply:you can't. you're just gong to have to make a new screen name. sorry. :P
