Your yahoo id is really an email account name -- and email addresses are not case sensitive, which is why most are force to lowercase -- whether this is ultimately a good practice is an open question.\n\nHowever if you want to create an email name where your first and last name is clearly separated you can do that by adding a dot in the name so that "myname@tahoo.com" can be written as "my.name@yahoo.com" -- if you go to Yahoo mail options you should be able to find a "extra email address" option which should allow you to get a second email address associated to your account.

You can't change the names on emails that you received - those are permanent.  You could, however, forward them to yourself and change the name that way.  The downside to that is that if you are looking at a list of your emails, the list won't show the original sender.\n\nYou can't change the name of the Inbox either, but you can create a new folder and just move the emails you have to the new folder.  On the left where the folders are listed, click on Add, then type the name you want in the popup box.  When done, check the emails you want to move to that box and then click on the button that says Move... and find the new box in the list.\n\nYou can go one step further and filter your emails as they come in.  Of course, you'd have to have a filtering criteria (i.e. all emails from joesmith@yahoo.com go to the Joe box).  But if you had that, then go to Options near the top right, then to Filters and set it up that way.

Yahoo does have a way to block email IDs.\n\nGo to Options / Filters\nand add a filter to automatically move emails from that address to Trash..

Make a new email account and never post your email anywhere unless your on an instant messenger.\n\nSpam bots automatically grab urls.

Yahoo has a feature where you can assign a unique email address that you can give to special people or companies without divulging your real address..\n\nEX:  Say your id is :   yourname@yahoo.com  You can assign yournameemail-wal-mart@yahoo.com.  \n\nWhen you get email to that address you know it is from wal-mart so that you will know if they gave out your name to others.\n\nI think it is in the options feature of yahoo under "addressguard".  check it out.

put the address you want to hide in the "bcc" field,\nwhereas for sending you have to put one email address in the "to" field, so you can put your own email address there.\n\nthis will help you out

Can you please be a little more clear ? I'm not understanding what you mean by "changing email name".\nIf you mean, changing the Name that appears in the mail when you send a mail, then please tell which email service you are using so that I can give precise steps to do it. Thank you

You have an option to change your e-mail name and ID, and that is what you will have to do. Use that e-mail address as your primary, there is no other way.

as far as i know, u can't remove it. just avoid emails that don't look safe. attatchment names like " here is the file", and subject lines like "your file is attatched".

Any email account you have should give you the option of changing your display name. For example, if you have an Yahoo! account...go to "Options," then "General Preferences," and you'll see that the first thing you can change is your "From name." If you leave it blank or put something anonymous, then all that your email recipient will see is your email address (which of course can be anonymous). I recommend sending yourself an email first to test it before you send it to someone else.

Click on contacts...then contact details and put in your email as your first name and then again on nickname\n\n\nMake sure when you add someone it says your email and not your name you can change it whenever you want

No, of course not. They obviously have no way of keeping track whether you've included your whole name and there are no restrictions whatsoever. Pick a nickname. Call yourself the Flying Banana Fairy if you want to.\n\nI have a Livejournal and I just use my first name, not my last name (and my first name is pretty common so it's not like they can stalk me just from that). That way people still know who they're talking to and stuff.

Forget the id, setup a new account even if you have to use a newly made email to do so. After you get set up just change your email address to the one you want.  Myspace will not be getting back to you anytime soon.  If you stop messing with the current one the other person will stop getting the emails. Another way to find out  is to email the person you think the emails are being set to. If the email comes back to you then its not a vaild account. If they do respond tell them what happened and ask them to plaese click the link in the email to cancel the account.
