    The bug has hit many of us....including me....usually you have ME when Conversations is enabled, but, for the most of us, that is not the case....Yahoo is aware of it and are trying to resolve this issue. For now just check your setting and if it is disabled we will have to wait until Yahoo fixes this.

    ME is only seen by you....your recipients will see your From name or Email address

    when they receive it in their inbox....to change this disable Conversations

    Disable Conversations in Yahoo Mail

    Hover your pointer over the GEAR....upper right....while in the INBOX view

    Click on SETTINGS in the drop down menu..In the next screen........

    Remove the check mark to the left of ENABLE CONVERSATIONS

    Click on SAVE

    Yes I want to see the address the sender has sent the email too not just a generic "me" in the to field.
