Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name
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.

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name
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.

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name
@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

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name
@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".

Re: Yahoo email cannot change default name
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.
