Create an email signature

last updated at: Jun 8, 2026

A signature is a short block of text added to the bottom of your emails, often your name, role, and contact details. You set it up once in your account settings, and Mail adds it to your messages for you. This page shows you how.

Open your signature settings

Your signature lives in Space, alongside your other account settings.

Open Mail in Space. You land on the Signature section.

Write your signature

  1. Click in the box under Signature and type your signature.
  2. Select text to reveal the formatting toolbar, then use it to add Bold or Italic text, a Bullet list, a Numbered list, a Quote, or a Link.
  3. Click Save. The button stays greyed out until you have made a change, and shows Saving... while it saves.

That is it. Your signature is ready, and Mail uses it from now on.

Where your signature appears

Mail adds your signature for you when you write a message:

  • On a new email, it goes at the bottom.
  • On a reply or a forward, it goes above the quoted content, so it sits below your own text and ahead of the message you are replying to.

The signature is normal text in the message once it is added, so you can change or delete it for a single email without touching your saved signature. See Get started with Mail for the basics of writing and sending.

A signature is added to messages you start. It is not added to a draft you saved earlier and come back to, so your saved drafts keep whatever they already contain.

Change or remove your signature

Come back to the same Signature section in Space any time.

  • To change it, edit the text and click Save.
  • To remove it, delete everything in the box and click Save. New emails then go out with no signature.
