When I send an e-mail or someone sends me an e-mail, my full name  LOUIS SHAPIRO  shows ....I DO NOT WANT MY NAME TO SHOW. How do I go about removing it?  Do I replace it with something else.  HELP I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR HOURS TO DO THIS.

OK lets presume for a minute that you are referring to Yahoo Mail and you access it from the website.\n\nFirstly, LOG IN. no settings can be changed unless you're in the system, when you've done that, go to Mail options /General Preferences \n"Customise your Inbox view and your Compose options. Change your outgoing name and address"\n\nWith in that menu window, right at the TOP is the option for you to select the name that you want to appear to recipients  when you sen a message, this can be changed (with in reason) to whatever you want it to say.\n\nAlso on this page are a selection of other options, but its always worth recording the settings as they currently are before you decide to try changes. This would be because 95% of the time, the defaults will not need to be changed. \n\nIts quite easy to do, and whatever your email provider is, threre'll be a similar similar method. However if this is an emaiol address from your ISP and uses a program like Outlook then speak to the tech support from there...

Tryin to get ideas?  The most real one I encountered was when some jackhole on AOL got a username like "AolService5" and said "your account has been reset...please provide your account credit card and expiration date to continue service"...I reported him.

In Yahoo, you have to edit your profile information. When you first signed up to use your screen name, you put, first, last, etc. Go back and remove the anme you can use initials instead

What are some numbers I could put behind my username to make sure that it isn't taken? Simply "SRIJAN" on yahoo and hotmail and all the other sites are taken -- SPAM THAT S.O.B.!! lol. So... I can't sign up as that. But what are some numbers I could put behind it to make it unique? What some other things I could do?? \n\n\nI've seen people use their age, year of birth, zip code, area code, the current year in two or four digits.... It's a personal preference type of thing, I hope you find one that fits you.

Trust your instinct.  This sounds like a scam.  You can right click on the name to delete _and block_ him.  If you just delete him, you won't see him, but he will see when you are on.  If you block him, he won't see when you are on.  Reporting him to yahoo/MSN or to the computer fraud squad of the Police may also be a good idea.

You can use two profiles, go to file and Manage identities, then switch to the new identity to use the new display name.  You do have to recreate the account though, or go to tools menu, accounts, and export your current account to your hard drive, and switch identities and import it into the new one, and then just change the display name.\nyou could also have just one identity, with two mail accounts setup, each with a different display name.  Then when you send a mail, you can select an account to send from in the compose window.  This gets messy though, as you can get duplicate mails and other such headaches.

I don't think you can hide your name, but if you go to the "My Q&A" webpage and click on "edit my info", you can choose to use another nickname (i assume you can choose one different from your yahoo! id).

Short answer, there is nothing anyone can do about it.  Hopefully, it'll go away soon.  If not, you'll have to get a new email address.

You've got to be so stupid, so you mean your ID is your full name, right, and you show your full name to Y! Chatting. Hmm...That's bad.\n\nI will wish you luck. Just go to the sign in window on Y! Sign in and give the necessary details. That works fine.\n\nOr, you could always get a new acount, bad luck really, if that previous account has your business proposals, resume infos, an e-mail account for an imporatnt webiste, etc.\n\nGood luck.

yeah that happened to my step daughter the other day (on yahoo). It said someone else was in her name, we changed it that night and the very next day it did it again. We reinstalled it twice, and changed the pasword again. So far it hasn't occurred again. My zone alarm also said yahoo was doing some sort of suspicious behavior like spying or keylogging or something?????

There might not be a straight forward method of doing that through the Messenger. What you can do is open your Address book on Yahoo (address.yahoo.com) and delete the names from there that you don't want on your Messenger anymore. Think that should be the easiest way.

1) No, that is not possible in Yahoo! Mail. Be aware that this AOL feature only works when you send it to another AOL/AIM.com email address; if you sent it to bob@imnotaol.com, you would not be able to unsend it.\n\n2) No, that is not in Yahoo! Mail either. Again, another AOL feature that works only when you send it to another AOL/AIM.com email address; if you sent it to bob@iamnotaol.com, the status would say "(you cannot check the status of internet mail)"\n\nHope this helps!

You need to go into your profile and change it so ppl can email you! I found a chris latimer online and emailed him and told him a girl was looking for him with the screen name adarkerdream. So if he emails me back how do I let you know?

You say you are using Yahoo!....If you are using it for email, you can create a secondary account (go to the help section) and notify your friends of your new email address. Have that new address go to your inbox and the old address go to the bulk folder for deletion. DON'T open any email to the old account name. The old screen name can still be used to log in to all Yahoo! services you use, just quit using it for email. Also check your spam settings in Yahoo!

There should be a way for you to block the other user.  I did it today.  When you put your mouse over each individual name does a box pop up? If so, on the bottom of the box does it say "you appear online to this member"? or something else if something else use the drop down box to change it to the setting you like.  OR  Try right clicking on the persons name and go to "stealth settings"  and click on Permanently offline.  If you need more direction let me know
