Apple Mail signature setup

Settings → Mail → Signature. Choose: All Accounts (same signature on all) or Per Account (different signature per email account). Type signature. Save. Applies automatically to new emails.

Per-account signatures

Power user setup: different signature per account. Work email: full title + company + phone. Personal: just name. Multi-account power. Settings → Mail → Signature → Per Account.

Formatting limitations on iPhone

iPhone Apple Mail: plain text signatures only. NO rich formatting (bold, italic, links). Workaround: Mac Mail.app supports rich text + images, syncs to iPhone via iCloud. Edit signature on Mac for rich formatting.

HTML signatures (advanced)

HTML signatures (logo, social links, formatted): Mac Mail.app supports. Edit Mac Mail signature → drag image → format. Syncs to iPhone via iCloud. Rendering varies by recipient email client. Test before sending professional emails.

Professional signature elements

Name (line 1). Title + Company (line 2). Phone (line 3). Email (optional — they have it). Website. Social handles (LinkedIn, Twitter). Professional photo (only Mac-edited HTML). Pronouns (modern). Disclaimer (legal industry).

Privacy considerations

Email signature is public-facing. Don\'t include: home address, personal phone if private, sensitive titles. Public phone OK for businesses. Email signature is your digital business card.

Per-occasion signatures

Different signatures: work, personal, after-hours, vacation. Settings → Mail → Signature → choose per use. Switch in compose. Spark + Superhuman support per-template. Apple Mail more limited.

Apple Pencil signature signing

iPad + Apple Pencil: handwritten signature in Markup. Save as signature image. Drag into emails. Personal handwriting touch. Professional or family use.

Best practices 2026

Keep short — 3-5 lines max. Use plain text on iPhone (works everywhere). Avoid \'sent from iPhone\' (overdone). Match company style guide if applicable. Update annually as roles change.
