I want to create a signature that will appear on all emails that I send
I want to create different identities that I will use depending on the type of email that I am sending, eg. business vs personal
Background
To personalise the emails that you send you may wish to add a signature or standard text that will appear on all of your emails. Typically this text includes your name, address and contact details but could easily include a business tag line. With @home email the signature is part of an identity which is a profile of the email account user that includes your name, email address, reply address and signature. Identities are particularly useful when more than one person is using the same account, or if you want to have different details for personal versus business email. When composing emails you can select your identity of choice, which will then determine the standard text to include with the email that you are sending.
Solution
Login to your email account directly from your web browser.
Click on Account Options.
Select the Identities and Signatures link.
Use the Current Identities drop down box to select 'Create new identity'.
In the Name and Address Options enter the details for the identity, including a reply to address if applicable.
Type the Signature text that you want to use.
Decide what signature options you want to apply. Typically you would want the signature to appear on new messages, but not when replying or forwarding.
Select Save Changes.
Repeat this process if you want to add several identities.
