Signature

A signature is a short piece of text that you can add to the end of your emails. This is usually used to tell the reader of your email something about you. For example if you organise meetings for a club or sports team you might want to add some information about this, or you might just add your own contact information or details of which class you are in.

To change your signature:

  1. Enter some text in the signature box.

  2. Click Save Changes to store your new signature

    or

  3. Click the Reset button to return to the previous signature.

    Note: The reset button changes the signature back to the saved version. So if you have already clicked the Save button you will have to compose your signature again.

To activate your signature

  1. Click the Enable Signature check box

    When the option is selected a green tick appears in the check box.

  2. Click the Save Changes button.

Note: When your signature is enabled it will be shown in all of the emails you send. If you want to send emails without your signature then you need to ensure the Enabled option is not selected.
