How to Set Up Email Signatures in Zoho Mail

By , About.com Guide

An email, typically, ends where the signature begins. Without a signature, it is incomplete. It could, atypically, have been truncated. To spare recipients the uncertainty, and to adorn your messages with a dash or two, a name and an address perhaps, you can set up an email signature easily in Zoho Mail; you can also set up more than one, though, for more than one occasion and contact, and specify different default signatures for your accounts.

Set Up Email Signatures in Zoho Mail

To add a signature to Zoho Mail:

  • Follow the Settings link in the top Zoho Mail navigation bar.
  • Open the Signatures category (under Personalize).
  • Click Add Signature.
  • Enter a name for the signature under Title ("Personal", e.g., for messages to friends and family, or "Clients" for emails to customers).
  • Type the signature's text in the text area.
    • It's best for your signature be about five lines of text or less.
    • Do insert the standard signature delimiter if possible. Zoho Mail will not insert it automatically.
    • You can add formatting or an image to your signature using the formatting bar. (Note that some formatting may not be converted perfectly if you compose plain-text messages.)
  • Optionally, pick an account for which you want the new signature to be the default; the default signature will automatically be inserted when you start a new message or reply using the account.
    • You can also make the new signature the default for more than one email address. See below.
  • Click Add.

Edit a Signature in Zoho Mail

To modify an existing signature in Zoho Mail:

  • Go to the signature settings in Zoho Mail. (See above.)
  • Move the mouse cursor over the signature you want to edit under Title.
  • Click the Edit button (showing a notepad and pencil) as it appears.
  • Edit the signature as desired.
  • Click Update.

Specify Default Signatures for Your Zoho Mail Accounts

To pick default signatures for all the email addresses and accounts you have set up in Zoho Mail:

  • Open the signatures settings in Zoho Mail. (See above under Set Up Email Signatures in Zoho Mail.)
  • For each email address under Associate Default Signature for From Addresses:
    • Select the signature you want inserted automatically for emails composed using the address.
    • Choose No Signature to start emails without a signature inserted by default. You can always insert a signature manually or pick one other than the default.
