Login to your online account:

 

https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email/

 

Then go to Settings > More Settings > Mailboxes > Your email address.

 

You should then be able to change the display name here if it is wrong so remember to hit the save button after doing this.

If you login to your account (using a desktop browser) and go to Settings - More settings - Mailboxes and select your Sky mailbox you will find an option to set "Your name".

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name

Hi, thanks for the advice,, my name comes up correctly in my sky account. I have tried changing in my yahoo account but there are no options to change the default name. There is a settings option but not a more settings option.

@NotNigel your images look like they're from a mail app, perhaps the Yahoo Mail app. To make this change you need to log in via Sky's website,  using the link in @caesarome's post.

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name

Hi, thanks for your reply. I checked this on my sky account and my name is correct, so cannot understand why my partners name heads up as my default name in my email

@NotNigel you need to follow the precise instructions given in @jayach's and @caesarome's previous posts. The problem you're having is specific to Sky Yahoo Mail. It's not related to your Sky account 

 

To repeat what you need to do:

 

1. Log in via: www.sky.com/signin/email

2. Go to Settings > More settings > Mailboxes and select your Sky mailbox.

3. You can then change "Your name".

Hi really appreciate your help but there is not a more settings option after settings. Thus is what I'm seeing

@NotNigel 

As you appear to be doing this in a mobile make sure you are accessing the link in desktop mode as settings > more settings should appear under your name at the top right of the page.
