Create a new email signature
Before you start:
- You can create multiple signatures and assign them to different email accounts.
- You can automatically include your signature when sending a new message and replying or forwarding an email.
1. Click on the New button to add a new signature. Give your signature a recognizable name so you can easily select the right one for your new email message.
