Why is the name displayed in classic-mail different than the one displayed in new-mail?

This is sort of hard to explain, so bear with me, sorry.

When I enter the classic Yahoo mail, a big message pops up in the middle of the page saying hello with the name I have set in my profile. However, when I use the all-new mail, the name that pops up is a name that I had set a while ago, but then changed. This is also the name it uses when I forward messages.

Its like it didn't update itself when classic-mail did... any ideas?

The new mail uses the FROM name which can be different from the account name.

You can change the FROM name and the REPLY TO address on the "General Preferences" page.

With Classic Mail - Click options / mail / general preferences (under management)

With the All-New Mail - Click options / mail options / accounts / add or edit an account / edit
