Hello,

If you want to keep your old account too, than you can create alias for your account, if you don't want to continue old account than you have to create new account.

Alias working > email for [email protected] will be store to your old email account.

You cant change your name but you can add another to your present account OR make a new one....see below

To clarify what is below...when you add another name to the present account you will not lose anything...IE: contacts...address list. etc...You will have to send an email to all your friends advising them of the new email address...if someone makes a mistake and sends it to the email address you don't like anymore it will go to the same inbox so you don't lose any messages.

To notify your contacts of the email change click on OPTION...MAIL OPTIONS...go to the left side and click on ACCOUNTS..then click on ADD OR EDIT...go back and click on MAIL again...Under MANAGEMENT scroll down and click on ANNOUNCE EMAIL ADDRESS...once you are done with what you want the notice to say AND after adding your contact list in the header click on PREVIEW AND SEND...when the new screen comes up and everything is as you want it...go below and send it....

Click the link below to get an extra email address for your existing account. It´s absolutely free. Use it just as you would for your primary address (which of course you can still use). To make things handy, you can send and receive email from either address from the same inbox. http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias?...

Should you want to make your secondary email address as your primary you can click on OPTIONS...MAIL OPTIONS...go to the left side of the screen and click on ACCOUNT INFORMATION...submit your password again and once in to your account you will see EMAIL INFORMATION..Click on EDIT. You will see the circles where you can designate which one you want as your primary Then click on SAVE.

for your added convenience I will add the following should you want a NEW account and cancel the old one.

Click this link and fill out the form to create a new account.
