- Tap on "Settings" (represented by a gear icon).
- Scroll down to the "Account" section.
- Tap on "Change email address".

Important notes:
- You can only change your Yahoo Mail address once every 30 days.
- Changing your email address will not affect your existing contacts, calendar events, or email messages. However, you may need to update your email address with any services or websites that you use.
- If you're changing your email address to a new Yahoo account, you'll need to create a new account and then transfer your data (such as contacts and email messages) to the new account.
- If you're changing your email address to a non-Yahoo account, you'll need to manually transfer your data to the new account.
Before making the change, make sure you have a backup of your important data, such as contacts and email messages, in case something goes wrong during the process.
