How do I change my display name in Yahoo Mail?

I would like the name that is displayed on my email address to

change. It used to be my name, but I went into my account settings and changed it to something more anonymous. When my emails are

displayed in other people's email inboxes, I don't want my full

proper name to display but I want my Yahoo ID to display, for my

privacy/security.



I made this change 2 days ago but it has not been udpated, and the old name still shows when I send emails. Help. Thank you!How do I change my display name in Yahoo Mail?
