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

## 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.

:::tip
If you manage several email addresses, assigning a tailored signature to each account keeps your correspondence looking professional without any extra effort.
