How do I reassign signatures in email?

Had to delete my email account and re-add it. Now my signatures are gone.

Sorry for the delay in responding. After I left your home, later that night I became extremely sick and have not been able to move until just about an hour ago. Extreme vertigo and nausea. It was rough to say the least but I’m back up and walking around again. So signatures…

It’s possible your previous signature is still there and just needs to be reassigned to the email address itself. Here’s how to check: In Mail, go to settings/Signatures:




If you see the signature there already (in the second column as seen above) then all you have to do is drag the circled item onto the account on the left. (Like I’ve shown with the arrow.)

However, if the signature is gone from the middle column, you’d need to recreate it. Hit the plus sign to create a new signature. If you had graphics, icons, or logos in your signature you can always copy/paste it exactly as it was by looking at a previously sent email. Every one of your sent emails from the past would contain that signature.

My signature doesn't appear on my emails automatically.

My “signature”, to which we added the tagline today, is no longer appearing on my e-mails. I accessed the “Signature” under “Mail” but cannot figure out how to get it connected back to my gmail account. Help?

Here's how to assign a signature to an email account:

Select "All Signatures" on the left. Drag the signature listed in the middle column onto the account you'd like to use over on the left. Finally, select the account on the left column then select the signature from the drop down at the bottom near "Choose Signature".



This is poorly designed on Apple's part. Very unintuitive.

Assigning a signature to your email on the Mac

Somehow my e-mail signature has been cut off. I use mail on my desktop and have a gmail account. I don’t know if this happened when I downloaded the new MAC software update or when I tried to log into my son’s new g-mail account. Can you help me set it up?

One thing I noticed this morning is that my e-mail were appearing on my I phone and IPad but not on my desktop. Somehow I was able to correct that on my desktop but I don’t remember what I did.

You created a screen shot of my info for my signature awhile ago. I tried putting that back into signatures, but it doesn’t show up when I draft a new e-mail.

In order to get your outgoing email to utilize the signature you created in your mail application, you first have to drag it onto the email account in the left column as shown by the red arrow in the pic below. Next, you'll want to select the signature using the drop down menu at the second red arrow. After thetas done, each time you create an outgoing email it will include that signature.
