How do I Change a Name on a Yahoo Mail Mailing List?

Yahoo! Mail provides a way to organize your contacts into groups called categories. These groups also serve as mailing, or distribution, lists. Selecting a category as the email recipient allows you to distribute a copy of the message to each member of that category. On occasion, the need to change the name of an existing category arises, whether due to typographical error or simply the desire for change. Yahoo! allows you to modify this information, without having to recreate the category.

Instructions

1. Login to your Yahoo! Mail account.

2. Click the "Contacts" tab, to view your address book.

3. Click the "View" button located above the contact list toward the upper-left portion of the screen. Then select the desired category from the drop-down list.

4. Click the "Change Name" option, which is located in the upper-right corner of the screen.

5. Enter the new name for the category; click "Save." Category names can only contain one word, and they cannot include any special characters or spaces.
