How to create and manage signatures in Apple Mail

A signature is automatically added to the end of every email you send. Apple Mail lets you create multiple signatures and assign a different one to each email account.

Open the signatures settings

1. Open Mail, then click Mail in the menu bar and select Settings (or Preferences on older macOS versions).

   

2. Click the Signatures tab.

   

Add a new signature

1. Click the + (plus) icon below the signatures list.

   

2. Give the signature a name, then click in the right-hand pane and type your signature text.

   

Delete a signature

1. Select the signature you want to remove, then click the - (minus) icon.

   

2. Click OK to confirm. This permanently removes the signature and cannot be undone.

   

Assign signatures to individual accounts

You can set a different signature for each email account you have added to Mail, rather than using the same one for all of them.

1. In the left-hand column of the Signatures settings, click the account you want to configure.

   

2. Add a new signature for that account using the + icon, as described above.

   

3. Use the Choose Signature dropdown to set the default signature for that account.
