How to Setup Email Signatures

Maja Williams — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 14:32:23 +0000

We have been asked few times by our clients how to setup email signatures so we have decided to devote an entire page to this FAQ. Please click below on the respective email software you are using to be taken to the setup instructions.

Create an Email Signature in Outlook 2003
Create an Email Signature in Outlook 2007
Create Email Signatures in Outlook Express
Create a Signature in Windows Live Mail
Create an Email Signature in Mac OS

To set up an email signature in Outlook 2003:

Select Tools | Options… from the menu in Outlook.
Go to the Mail Format tab.
Click Signatures… under Signatures.
Click New….
Give the new signature a name.
- If you set up more than one signature for different purposes — work mail vis-à-vis personal chat, for example —, name them accordingly.
Click Next >.
Type the desired text of your email signature.
- It is best to limit your signature to no more than 5 or 6 lines of text.
- Include the standard signature delimiter (it does not count as a line of text).
- You can use the Font… and Paragraph… buttons to format your text, but if you want to use links, fancy formatting and images even in your signature, you can do so more easily via a different route.
- Additionally, select a business card to add under vCard options.
Click Finish.
Now click OK.
If you have just created your first signature, Outlook has automatically made it the default — automatically inserted — for new messages. To use it for replies as well, which I recommend, select it under Signature for replies and forwards:.
Click OK again.

Create an Email Signature in Outlook 2007

In a new message, on the Message tab, in the Include group, click Signature, and then click Signatures.
On the E-mail Signature tab, click New.
Type a name for the signature, and then click OK.
In the Edit signature box, type the text that you want to include in the signature.
To format the text, select the text, and then use the style and formatting buttons to select the options that you want.
After you finish creating the signature, click OK.

You can set a signature to be added automatically to outgoing messages, or you can manually insert a signature when needed.

Insert a signature automatically:

In a new message, on the Message tab, in the Include group, click Signature, and then click Signatures.
Under Choose default signature, in the E-mail account list, click an e-mail account with which you want to associate the signature.
In the New messages list, select the signature that you want
If you want a signature to be included in message replies and in forwarded messages, in the Replies/forwards list, select the signature. If not, select none.
Click OK.

Insert a signature manually:

In a new message, on the Message tab, in the Include group, click Signature, and then select the signature that you want.

Create Email Signatures in Outlook Express

To get started, go up to Tools and click on ‘options.’ Go to the Signatures tab, and click ‘new.’ Type the text that you want to appear in the box under Edit Signatures. Click on ‘rename,’ and give your signature a name.

Now click on ‘new’ to create a second signature. Type in some text, and don’t forget to give it a name as well. You can click on ’set as default’ for this signature, and hit ‘apply.’

Insert Text or an HTML File

Now, if you have a Text or an HTML file, you can also use that as your signature. Just click on ‘new,’ and instead of typing something in, click on the File button. Click ‘browse’ and locate your file. Click ‘open,’ and now give it a name.

Use Signatures for Multiple Email Accounts

If you have multiple email accounts set up, you can specify which signature goes with which email account.

First, click on the signature you want to use. Click on the Advanced tab. Choose the email account that you want the signature to belong to. Choose as many as you’d like. When you’re done, click ‘OK.’

Add Signature to Outgoing Messages

Now, make sure to click on the box that says ‘Add Signatures to All Outgoing Messages.’ Now you can choose whether you want to add signatures to replies and forwards. Click ‘OK,’ and go up to Create Mail.

There’s your signature, all ready to go.

How to Create a Signature in Windows Live Mail

Click New under Signatures.

Type the text of your signature under Edit Signature.

Try to limit your signature to 4-5 lines of text, and
possibly use the standard signature delimiter.
This field is for plain text only, but you can also enrich your signature with HTML formatting.

Click OK.

If you create more than one signature, make sure you specify the one you want to be inserted in new messages by default, or choose and insert the appropriate signature manually.

To set up a default signature in Windows Live Mail:

Select Tools | Options from the menu.
Go to the Signatures tab.
Make sure Add signatures to all outgoing messages is selected.
You probably also want to deselect Don’t add signatures to Replies and Forwards.
Now select the signature you want to become the one automatically inserted.
Click Set as Default.
Click OK.

Create an Email Signature in Mac OS

Open your favorite editor and design your signature. You can do just about anything you like however I would highly recommend laying your signature out in a table to keep everything nicely spaced. You can get a great start by using a template provided by one of your social networks.

Next, open your mail application and then go to your Mail preferences. Once the Preferences dialog box is open click on the “Signatures” tab and create a new signature by clicking on the “+” sign. This process works the best if you only have one signature listed. If you have old signatures that you will no longer be using go ahead and delete them now. Once you are done close your Mail application.

Next open Safari and then click “File” and then “Open File”. Choose the html file that you created in step 1. After the file is open click “File” and then “Save As”. In the subsequent dialog box you will need to navigate to the proper folder where you will save your html file as a “web archive”. Navigate back to user library folder on your hard disk. Once the Library folder is open scroll down until you find the “Mail” folder. Then scroll down until you find the “Signatures” folder.

In the signatures folder you should see two files (if you deleted all but one signature). One file will be a “.webarchive” and the other file will be a “.plist” file. Click the “.webarchive” file and it should automatically copy the name of this file into the “Export As” field at the top. Verify that the Format selected is “Web Archive” and click “Save”.

This process will copy your html web archive over the plain signature you created earlier. Open Mail and make sure your signature is selected to work with your account. (Under Mail preferences) Then when you start a new email you should see your new html signature!
