Answer 1

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.
