Apple Mail drops signature

Hi
I'm running latest 10.8.2 on a brand new Mac Mini. I have several email accounts. On the latest one I've set up, for no apparent reason, the signature keeps deleting. So, when I compose a mail... no signature. When I investigate in Preferences/Signatures I find the name of my signature but a blank screen where it used to be. It's happening daily. Any ideas?
Thanks

BUMPING this one, because I have the same issue. OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
I have to physically paste my signatures every time.

Apple Mail - HTML Signature Help

I created a html signature that I assumed would work in Apple Mail, but when I send an email I get the images and links not showing up with blue ? appearing. The signature looks fine in the signatures menu of my preferences.
<Edited by Host>

Making a fancy HTML signature is a little more involved than that. It's not very user friendly. There are a number of tutorials on the internet for hacking them up. Here is one example: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/10/16/mac-101-making-a-fancy-signature-in-mail-app/ and there are many others.
PS - I have asked the hosts to remove all the personal information from your post. You don't want that there.

Apple Mail problems (Signatures)

I recently found out that my company logo which is used in my Apple mail signature is not displayed on platforms such as, outlook. Outlook users receive my logo as a pasted graphic and my text signature as an attachment. This sort of goes against the purpose of having an email signature, especially when used for business. I spoke with tech support at apple, they advised it was a problem with PC based programs. I called Microsoft and they refused to help me, because I was not using outlook. If anyone has any advice I sure would appreciate the help.

I have the same problem !
Please help !

Apple Mail drops accounts regularly

I have 3 different email accounts operating under Apple Mail (10.8.4).
For some reason two of them get dropped every few minutes and the only way to fix this is to exit Mail and restart it again..
Gets very frustrating after a while..
Anybody got a solution?
Thanks...

Please describe in detail what happened when you took all the applicable steps in the support article. That's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem.

Apple Mail, my signatures wont show,

I am having an issue with Apple Mail When I type an email and want to add my signature all I get is none or edit signatures,
I can see them when I look at them while editing( I figured I would try to see if editing changed something) but they do not come up when I want to select them, all I get is "none" or "edit Signatures". this problem started today, any ideas?
I have restarted the computer a few times to no avail. I have tried adjusting the settings in the mail but no luck. Out of ideas.

From the Mail menu bar, select
Mail ▹ Preferences... ▹ Signatures
Drag the signatures to each of the desired accounts in the list on the left. If you want one to be the default signature added to all messages sent from that account, select the account, and then select from the Choose Signature menu at the bottom of the dialog.

Apple Mail drops lines or words

From time to time email I send using Apple Mail arrives with words or lines dropped.
I don't have this problem with Eudora but love the various features of Apple Mail v.3.5
Where do I look?

I am also having a problem with dropped letters in some of the emails that I send using Apple Mail (having just switched from Entourage to Apple Mail). It seems random - I tried resending the same (problematic) email several times to one of my colleagues, and each time different parts of the email had dropped letters. It is both frustrating and embarrassing. Apple - please help.

Why won't apple mail save signatures?

When I am copying a signature I create in a mail into the Signatures database, It doesn't seem to save as it was built...sometimes it removes/adds carriage returns. Other times it won't copy the graphics with the text. Is there a way to make sure it stays as I create or edit it?

this is not iPad2 or iOS, i selected OSx Mavericks on a Mac Air...not sure why its not categorized correctly

Apple Mail in Lion not keeping accounts when quitting

When I add mail accounts that are not Mobile Me in Apple Mail, the account disappears each time I quit and restart Mail. Then I have to add the entire account again only to be lost the next time. So I can never quit Mail. I've always had several accounts in Apple Mail without issue. However, since I've updated to Lion, Apple Mail drops account every time I quit Mail. So when I relaunch Mail, the only thing there is my Mobile Me account. Why is this happening and how do I remedy it? Thanks!

Are you using the classic view or the new vertical view.
If the latter, I have noticed that unless you scroll right up to the top of the mail, the blue dot does not disappear.
Secondly, if you are using conversation mode, click the small arrow to expand the list of mails under that conversation, if one of them is not read or not scrolled right up to the top, it will show as unread.

Cannot select signature (grayed out) in Apple Mail

Okay - so I'm a bit confused. In Apple Mail, I go to prefs>Signature. I select the account and I see a signature next I want to use in the box to the right. But when i create a new email the signature does not show up. Then I go back to Prefs and again select the account and this time I want to use the drop down "Choose Signature" bu it is grayed out. Any suggestions on how to have my signature automatically appear like it had been for years. I don't know what changed?

You need to ensure the signature is assigned to an account. For examle I have an iCloud and an Exchange Account. Select the account you want to add the signature and then the "Choose Signature" selection should no longer be greyed out.
If you have a signatures when "All Signatures" is selected but all your account list "0 Signature" you can click and drag the signature to the proper account. Than you should be able to do the above.

How do I get a drop-down menu to choose SMTP when composing an email in Apple Mail?

Apple Mail used to have a drop-down menu in the Composing Mail window to select the SMTP server to use. It is no longer there, in Yosemite (10.10.1). How do I get that back?

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. That's exactly what DW offers validation behaviors or Spry Validation for. Select the form element(s) required to validate, apply the behavior, set the options in the dialog. Done.

How do i add a LinkedIn badge to Apple Mail signature

Does someone know how to add popular badges (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter) to Apple Mail signatures. Just badge icon with a hyperlink to my profile.

Actually I just figured it out. Within your public profile on LinkedIn is an area for LinkedIn badges on right side. Click there and it will display several types of badges. Right click on the badge you want to use and do a "save as" to desktop.
Now go into Mail preferences, signatures. Copy and paste the icon you've saved to your desktop wherever you would like the badge to display within your signature. Then go to Edit on top menu and select "add link". This will open a box where you need to fill in your LinkedIn address that displays right below your profile photo. Save this.
This will turn the badge into a hyperlink that will connect to your LinkedIn Profile. To test it, create a new email using this signature and do a test send. When you receive the test email click on the badge to confirm that it takes you to your LinkedIn Profile.
Good luck!

How to add a photo to Apple Mail signature...? (he asks laughably)

Since the sender's Address Book photo is not included with emails sent
(even 'though Apple Mail makes it look like they are),
how can you add a personal photo to a Mail signature?
OR, is there another means of including a personal photo with every email sent?
**** How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
Thx.

How many people have asked for this feature / capability? More than 10,000?
As a matter of fact I have never seen it mentioned before. Perhaps only a few people need such an ego-trip every time they send an email.
The normal way is to add a photo within the text or as an attachment. The Signature only handles thumbnails.
But you can send your suggestion to Apple via their feedback link:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
It will be read but you will not receive a reply.

Signature in Apple Mail

I've added a signature to Apple Mail preferences that has a .jpeg and the option to add it at the bottom of an outgoing mail. The signature works OK with a text email, but when the email itself contains graphics, or an attachment, the signature reverts to the beginning of the message. How do I standardize the signature to always appear at the bottom in emails?
Thanks.

I would have to test this, but I suspect that in the menu under Edit, you have selected to insert attachments at the end of messages. This is a good option, but may impact differently with a Signature. The option for the Signature is only in reference to whether above Quoted Text, or Not.
I doubt it has to do with whether using RTF vs Plain Text, but will test as time allows.

Dropping a photo from iPhoto an Apple Mail stationary pane placeholder

With regard to Apple Mail and the stationary pane templates, why is that sometimes I can drop a picture in from iPhoto in the placeholder, and other times I cannot? Sometimes some photos will work and others won't. Other times no photos will work. And still other times all photos work. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to when it works and when it doesn't. What am I doing wrong?

Next time that happens check to see if you can drag the photo to the Desktop from iPhoto. You can try repairing the permissions in the library via iPhoto as follows:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - apply option #1.
