Can I change my address without making a new yahoo account?
Question by Smiley xD: Can I change my address without making a new yahoo account?
So I have this main email account that I’ve had for at least 5 or more years. And I want to change it because it’s become kinda childish. However, I don’t want to get a new email address because I have so many contacts and accounts on that email. I was wondering if I can change the actually address without getting a new account. Can that be done? help please!

Change how your name appears on your emails,
If you have Yahoo Classic
Go to “Options” on the right side of your email page
Click on “Mail Options” >”general” >From” >enter new name
>Save.
If you have All New Yahoo Mail.
Go to “Options” on the right In “Management” click General
Preferences.
“From name:” type in new name >Save.
Let your contacts know your new addy,
Go to “Options” > mail options >announce Email Address >
enter new address. Then enter the people you wish to know your
new addy and add a message if you wish >Preview and send
announcement.
and that’s it
You can also make an account within your account
called an ALIAS account and you can use that one
for sign in and emailing
http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias
click on the link to get one.
good luck.

Your email address can’t be changed while retaining your account. This is the next best thing.
You can create an alias email address that will go to the same mailbox as your primary email ID. Just go to this page. http://edit.yahoo.com/config/list_alias
Other than that you can create a new account by first signing out and then at sign in create a new one.
