Apple mail copy signature between accounts

The convenience of having a consistent signature across multiple Apple Mail accounts!

Unfortunately, Apple Mail doesn't have a built-in feature to copy a signature between accounts. However, there are a few workarounds to achieve this:

Method 1: Use a third-party email client

You can use a third-party email client like Airmail, Spark, or Polymail, which allows you to create a signature and sync it across multiple accounts. These clients often have more advanced features and customization options compared to Apple Mail.

Method 2: Use a text editor and AppleScript

You can create a text file with your signature and use AppleScript to copy the contents to the clipboard. Then, use the "Signature" field in Apple Mail to paste the signature.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Create a new text file with your signature and save it as a .txt file (e.g., signature.txt).
  2. Open the AppleScript Editor (located in /Applications/Utilities/AppleScript Editor.app) and create a new script:
    tell application "Mail"
     set theSignature to read (POSIX file "/path/to/your/signature.txt")
     set the clipboard to theSignature
    end tell

    Replace /path/to/your/signature.txt with the actual path to your signature file.

  3. Save the script as an application (.app) file, for example, Copy Signature.app.
  4. Open Apple Mail and go to the "Mail" menu > "Preferences" > "General" tab.
  5. Click on the "Signature" field and press Cmd + V to paste the signature from the clipboard.

Method 3: Use a third-party plugin

There are a few third-party plugins available that can help you copy a signature between Apple Mail accounts. One popular option is "Signature Sync" by MacSpark. This plugin allows you to create a signature and sync it across multiple Apple Mail accounts.

Please note that these workarounds may have some limitations, and you may need to adjust them to fit your specific needs.
