Question

Is it permitted and possible to change the FORMAT of my Yahoo ID ??

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you mean by "format", but if you mean a Yahoo alias - then yes, you can create 5 more profiles under one Yahoo account.

There are 3 methods:

If you use Yahoo! 360:

- Click on the "Settings" link. Go to "Basic Info" page and go down to the Yahoo Identity Display.

- Click "Create an additional Yahoo! alias" at the bottom at that section. It will take you to your account information.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back into a Yahoo service  using your new profile name and same password.

When you finish the process of creating a new profile, go back to your first/original 360 page, back to "Settings", back to "Basic Info" and choose the profile you just created in the Yahoo! Identity Display section (make sure to select the Yahoo ID, primary alias, profile default & simple URL options). Deselect the old ID options. Then, click the "Save" button at the bottom.

If you don't use Yahoo! 360:

- Click the "My Account" link at the top of the page next to your "Sign Out" link.

- Sign in and click the "Edit/Create Profiles" link on the right of the page.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back a Yahoo service using your new profile name and same password.

OR

- Create ONE extra mail address on your account that has all the mail features of the first one. This is a very convenient option

- See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... and

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or... depending on what type of e-mail you have (original or beta).

- Log out. Then, log back into a Yahoo service using your new profile name and same password.
