Tips and Variations
- To add an image or logo to your signature, you can use the "Insert Image" feature in the signature editor or upload the image to a hosting site and link to it in your signature.
- To use a different signature for different email accounts or contacts, you can create multiple signatures and switch between them using the "Signature" dropdown menu in the Mail preferences.
- If you're using a Gmail account with 2-factor authentication (2FA), you may need to generate an App Password to use with Apple Mail. You can do this by going to your Google Account settings, clicking on "Security," and selecting "App passwords."
