Email Signature in Different Mail Clients and Webmail

by Bella

Email signatures are generally used to display the sender’s name and contact information at the end of an email. We can use website links or even images in the signature for providing the identity of an email owner. It is much easier if this content is automatically added to the end of every email instead of manually adding it for each email. We can create an email signature in both webmail and email clients.

Below are the instructions on how to add your own custom email signature in different email clients and webmail.
