This is something you have to contact your mail provider about; it is outside anything this site is capable of doing for you.

Changed email address

Which email account ??????

Important information can sometimes be sent to an old email address that you no longer use.
For instance, if you registered a domain name, a website hosting account, a PayPal, or eBay account with an old email address but forgot to update your account when you switched email providers, then messages sent by those sites will be overlooked.
Finding old email accounts is not that difficult, especially because email users tend to use the same user name, or variations of it, for all email accounts.
If you know, or have an idea of what the old user name was, then retrieving, or changing the password is simple, but each email server uses a different user name or password retrieval method.

Call your internet provider and tell them you have forgotten your email account.
Give them your name and account number, found on your monthly statement.
In some cases the Internet provider will want to email this information to you.
Be sure they send the information to the alternate email address which you can access.
You don't want them to send messages to the email address you can't currently access.
The internet provider will ask you the security question you selected when signing up for the account.
If you can't remember what you selected, then the customer service representative may ask for a user name, your address, or the telephone number under which you registered the account.
Reset the password with the customer service representative over the phone.
The representative will help you change the user name if needed and reset the password so you can access the account again.
Yahoo Email
Go to the Yahoo mail page which asks you for your Yahoo ID.
Click on "I can't access my account."
Make the appropriate selection from the choices.
If you choose "I can't remember my user ID" then Yahoo will have you answer the "secret questions" they asked when you signed up.
These questions will be something like: "What was your first car?" or "Who was your third grade teacher?" If you answer coincides with the answer you gave when you signed up for the account.
Yahoo will give you your user ID.
After recovering your user ID, click on "I can't access my account" again and select "I can't remember my password," then click next and you will be taken to a change password screen, where you can change your password.
Start using your old Yahoo email account.
MSN Hotmail Email
Go to the Hotmail, or the MSN ID page, where it asks for your user name and password
Enter your user ID.
Unfortunately, MSN requires you to remember the user ID.
Click on "I have forgotten password"
Choose whether you want your password mailed to you or changed.
Unless you have registered a secondary email, if you choose email then the password will be sent to the account you can't access.
If you want to change password then you will be asked the security questions you specified when you registered the account.
Questions are something similar to, "Mothers birth place?" You may also be asked for your zip code, or address.
Enter a new password.
Enter anew password when the MSN ID page loads again and access your old email account.
Gmail Email
Access the Gmail ID page and click on "I can't access my account."
Choose the appropriate selection from the page that loads.
Options include, "I have forgotten my password" and "I have forgotten my user name."
If you select "I forgot user name," then click on "retrieve user name page," which you will see further down on the page.
Enter the alternate e-mail with which you registered the account.
The user name will be sent to that email.
Select "I have forgotten my password" If you know your user name then choose and click on "retrieve password" page.
Enter your user name on the page that comes up and then answer the confidential question that is asked.
Send password reset instructions to an alternate email and access your old Gmail email account.

When my friend set up my computer he put his email in as back up if ever I had trouble he could access my computer.Now every time I send an email it reads from him & a lot of my friends won't even open it...

Every email message lists a sender name in the "From" field.
This name is defined by the value you entered in your email client when you first configured your account.
If you marry, divorce or need to change your name for any other reason, common email clients, including Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express and web-based services such as Windows Live Hotmail and Gmail, give you the ability to change the sender name to any alternate value with just a few clicks.

Click the "File" button near the top-left corner of the screen, select "Info" and click "Account Settings."
Select the name of your email account, and click the adjacent "Change" button.

Enter your preferred sender name in the "Your Name" field.


Click "Next," followed by "Finish," to confirm the change.

Microsoft Outlook Express 6

Click "Tools" in the top menu bar, and select "Accounts."


Select the "Mail" tab in the resulting dialog box.


Select the name of your email account, and click the adjacent "Properties" button.


Select the "General" tab on the screen that follows, and enter your preferred sender name in the "Name" field.


Click "OK," followed by "Close," to confirm your change.

Windows Live Hotmail

Log into your Windows Live Hotmail account.


Click the "Options" button near the top-right corner of the window, and select "More Options."


Click the "Account details" link located below the "Managing your account" heading.


Locate your name on the following screen, and click the adjacent "Change" link.


Enter your preferred sender name using the "First name" and "Last name" fields, and click "Save."

Gmail

Log into your Gmail account.


Click the "Settings" link located near the top-right corner of the window.


Click the "Accounts and Import" link on the screen that follows.


Look to the "Send mail as" section, locate your email address and click the adjacent "Edit info" link.

Enter your preferred sender name in the "Name" field, and click "Save Changes."

My password is okay but my user name is not its for yahoo.com

Changing your Yahoo user name is not possible. Yahoo is a free email service and it does not have a feature that will allow you to change your user name.

If you would like to have a different user name, you need to create a new Yahoo mail account. Once created, you need to forward the important emails and contacts from your old Yahoo mail to your new one.

Thank you and good luck!

I need to change my display name on my emails. I have re-married and have changed my registration name but I cannot change my name on emails

Assuming you use the Apple Mail program to send your emails, this is an easy change.
In Mail, select Mail/Preferences, then select the Accounts tab if it's not already selected. For each account in the left hand column, click on the account, then change your name in the Full Name field to whatever you want.

Last name change on mail

If you are referring to Yahoo free email, for example @yahoo.com, simply register an account in your new name and inform your contacts to update their address books. You can still continue using the your old email address if you want to, as well as the new one. In fact, within reason you can open as many Yahoo email addresses you want.

Hope this helps
