Email Signatures per Email Account

Email Signatures per Email Account, 1 Signature per 5 email accounts is semi annoying, especially when it's 1 personal and 4 different companies!

I know what the purpose of an email signature is for with an email client on your computer. I was mailing and faxing letters and inter-office memos for correspondence before email became mainstream - the large company I worked for at the time started using email well before the companies I was doing business with did when using email was just beginning.
Although the same type of signature can be used with the iPhone to include name, company name, company address, phone numbers - office, fax, cell, and email address which IMO is redundant and a waste most of the time especially when exchanging email with people you regularly exchange email with, the primary purpose for a signature with the iPhone, a Blackberry, or with any mobile device is to make known to the recipient that the email was sent by a mobile device which is likely to have spelling and grammar errors over sending an email with an email client on your computer. Those you regularly exchange email with already know your name, the company you work for, your email address, and your phone number or numbers.

IOS Signature Settings for Multiple Email Accounts causes crashes and errors

Hello Everyone,
I've been having troubles with iOS email signature for severals years from iOS 4 (?) through iOS 7 on everything ranging from an iPad2, iPad3, IPad Air, and various iPhones. I'm currently on an iPad Air 128GB WiFi running iOS 7.1.2.
I have about 12 email accounts. I have it set to a unique signature per account. Whenever I try to scroll the list of signatures in the settings app, it will often have greyed out areas where a signature is supposed to be (especially after adding a new account). Other accounts will blur together and overlap each other. Very often the whole settings app crashes. Once the crashes start, they happen more frequently and you basically have to Power Off and Restart the iPad to get it back to a somewhat stable state.
I've come to accept that the Mail Signatures is broken and not stable. But maybe I'm just doing it wrong. So, I ask you great and wonderful Apple Community: Any suggestions? Or just keep on like I've been doing for the last several years?
Thank you!
Paul Holje

this crash has been present since ios6 (apparently). it's apparently caused by a buffer overflow (i've not yet examined the crash files i've been generating) because the engineers never tested use cases such as yours or mine.
a painful workaround is to disable all your email accounts but one, edit its signature, then disable it, and enable the next one, and so on. ios saves the correct signature for each account and the settings app crash does not occur.
hope this helps

Email notifications per email account, and bundled together? (former Android user)

Hello there,
I made the switch from an old HTC Android to the new iPhone 5S two weeks ago and the one thing I cannot configure to my liking is email notifications in the notification center. I have multiple email accounts that recieve a moderate volume of emails on most of my accounts per day and need a quick way to view the activity of a given email account, not the app. I currently use two email apps as follows:
Mail - iOS7 native app
x2 Exchange email accounts
x1 Windows Live email account
x1 Yahoo email account
Gmail App
x2 Gmail email accounts
I have configured the notification center to notify me for all but the yahoo email account. The problem I have is that the notificaiton center only shows X number of recent emails (selected in settings) the APP has recieved, and does not say which email account it is, or how many extra emails on top of X that I selected were recieved. My phone is on silent 24/7 and the only vibrates for phone calls and text messages. I will periodically check the notification center throughout the day and use it as a summary of what has happend since the last time I checked.
On my Android, each email account would have two lines in the Android Notification center. The first unread email on an account would use those two lines to tell you the subject line, time recieved, email account, the total number of unread emails, and the app. Once that account gets two or more emails, it simplifies to say the number of new messages, time the last one was recieved, the email account, the total number of unread emails, and the app. What is really nice about that setup is that each email account had two lines in the notification center, no matter what, and at a quick glance I can see which email accounts are really acitve and I probably need to check on. If one email account was really active and I wanted to check on it, I could select the single notification for that account and it would take me to the (already updated) inbox where I can quickly browse to see what all the emails are about. At this point it may sound like it is just different and I just need to get used to the iOS7 interface, but let me share an example where iOS7 lets me down, and Android has done well for the last couple years:
During M-F from 8-6, my two exhange accounts and one of my gmail accounts are the only accounts I care about. One exchange account receieves 5-20 emails per hour, and the other exchange account might recieve 1-5 per day. Only a small percentage of those 5-20 emails need a priority response, but the account that gets 1-5 per day are emails that I need to know about and respond to right away. What happens in the iOS7 notification center is that I may not even see a notification for the email account that gets 1-5 emails per day, and if I do, it only tells me the sender, subject line, and some of the body if I allow more than 2 lines - it does not specify which email account it was sent to. I can choose 1, 5, or 10 emails to be displayed for the Mail App in settings, but the 5-20 emails I recieve can bump the 1 important email from the one account out of the notification center.
Is there a way to configure notifications per email account, and bundle all the recieved emails (by saying "# New Messages" or similar) on a given account into 2-4 lines? My ultimate goal here is to not lose a notification on one account due to the high volume of another, but to also keep them concise enough that I don't need to scroll through a massive list of notifications like one giant inbox.
I would appreciate any tips or advice to configure the notification center better for my use case. Thank you!

Yeah.. I have problems with all apps that have notifications.
Forget the Google Gmail example.. I'll use imo, Groupme, and Facebook as examples.
I see the notifications. But when I open the app, it won't show the newest received messages. It will take a few second before the app would refresh.
With my Android experience, all apps would update with the new information in the background. It appears that even though the apps are running in the background in iOS, the actual app appears to be paused until you reopen the app. That's when the app will refresh with the new information.

Can I have more than one iphone per email account?

When my son got his iphone 4s I used my email address since he didnt have one yet. I have since gotten an Iphone 4s also, but when I went to activate it I had to put it under another email account, since mine was used for my sons iphone, so I used my husbands. My husband now has an iphone on order and I was wondering if there was a way of having more than one phone per email account?

I would set up a new email for him. That will give you a new icloud account. Also any apps that he downloaded with your ID will forever be linked to that ID and can only be updated with that ID. If that is a problem then you might delete those apps and download them again with the new ID ( and if they were paid apps you need to pay again)

I have two email accounts on my iPad. How do I get a signature to show up on the second account?

The signature should show up with each account. Usually the complaint is not having an option for multiple signatures or not being able to have a different signature for each account.

Multiple email accounts in mac mail signatures

My boss uses Mac Mail with five different email accounts, each with an associated email signature.
When she composes an email, the "from" field defaults to whichever email account she used last, and its associated signature appears in the email. This is her issue since switching to Mavericks (not sure which version) : When she switches the "from" field from, say, her personal account to her legal practice account, both signatures appear in the email. In other words, the signatures don't switch when she switches accounts-- they just pile up at the end of the email.
Is there a setting that will allow her signatures to switch with the accounts, rather than her needing to go back and delete the additional signatures?

1. OK, so I see a menu of outgoing smtp servers. Does that replace the 'sent from' field or is it just using that server to send the message?
The SMTP server is unrelated to the 'from' address.
The pop-up menu referenced only exists if you have multiple accounts configured in Mail.app preferences - if you only have one account then there's no point in Mail.app offering the chance to choose which account to send from.
You should use Mail Preferences to create additional accounts, one for each email address you use. Each account can be linked to a specific SMTP and POP/IMAP server for sending and receiving mail for that address.
If you have multiple addresses that you use with a single SMTP/POP/IMAP account then you can use a single Account setup in preferences - just list each email address in a comma-delimited list in the 'email address' field. e.g. creating an account with 'email address' set to: '[email protected], [email protected]' will give you options for those two email addresses when you create a new message.

How can I set up a unique signature for each email account?

Is Apple kidding me? I can put multiple email accounts on my iPad but they must all have the same signature, bcc settings etc...
That makes this a toy not a tool!
Is there an app for that?
RA

The only work around I can think of would be to use TextExpander. Not the best solution but possibly the only one for now.

Hi there, Can you please HELP ME? I created a signature for my email account, but I can not choose it because the option is daded under "none"and nothing happens when you click on it! Thank you, Johan

One signature will not stay connected to one of my email accounts. Why???

I have several email accounts (IMAP and POP) and several signatures used with each account. The problem that I'm having is that I cannot get the signature that I want to use with a specific account to stay associated with that account. Every time I restart Mail, the signature is no longer associated with the account and I have to drag back the signature to the account to get it to work. I even tried deleting the signature and then re creating it, but I still have the same problem.
Any fixes here? This is really driving me crazy! Thanks,

How to paste pictures into email account signature

How to paste pictures into email account signature. I cannot get the pic to be visible. I have an iPhone 6 Plus

I think I got it to working, IMbatman13folllowing the directions from that thread.
I created a signature on my laptop. Included a png in it.
Sent an email with that signature to myself on my iPhone. I did not put a message in the body.
Opened it up on iPhone. Selected entire 'body'. Copied all.
Went into Settings, Signatures, Selected a different email account, pasted in what I had copied.
And it worked.

Auto signatures for multiple email accounts-iPhone

I currently have both my personal and work emails accounts set up on my iPhone. I created an automatice signature which I want to use only on my work account, but it also shows on when I send an email from my personal account. Does anyone know how to use an automatic signature for only one account? Thanks!

there's no fully automatic version available that I have found however there's an App called @Signature which allows you to create unique signatures for mail accounts or even have different signatures for the same account.
All you have to remember is that when you create an email, you use the App rather than mail as it inserts the correct signature into a blank email created by Mail. It still defaults to one email account so its far form perfect but at least it stores the correct signatures.

Multiple Signatures, for Multiple Email Accounts

I've seen in other topics that we can only have 1 signature in the iPhone Mail Application. Any 'new' work-arounds, save for manually typing in a signature in a 2nd, or 3rd email account?
Thanks

I recently saw news of an app to enable this, I think. The workflow was something like you open up the app, select a signature, then hit a button and it takes you to Mail and pre-pastes the signature into a new mail message. So I don't think it would work for replies.
I'm afraid I have no idea where I saw it discussed. Search the App Store?

Signatures missing from email accounts.

I have 4 email accounts: 2 gmail and 2 MS Exchange. For all accounts, I had set up signatures. With update 1.4, they got wiped out. Update 1.4.1 seemed to take care of the issue (still had to recreate all of them). Now, they are gone again (as of last night).
What is going on?!?

I'll add a related quirk to this thread.
I have set signatures for various e-mail accounts. The signatures appear in my outgoing e-mails (though in some instances which I haven't narrowed down yet, extra lines appear before the signature.) However, when I go to preferences for an account with a signature, only the default appears in preferences. Most of the time, so long as I do not touch the signature preference, the Pre continues to insert my signature (even though it does not appear in preferences) however sometimes the Pre loses it completely after I've gone to preferences.

IPhone 4s - We need a separate signature for each email account.

I had no problem with this in WebOS. Makes no sense to have muliple email accounts and not enter a different signature for each.
So far, I've not seen an app worth buying. I thought about changing signature to remove "sent from my iPhone" and changed my mind. I'm leaving it in there to advertise to everyone how limited iPhone is for truly handling personal and business email needs.
I hope Apple figures this out soon!!

As Apple hasn't thought it worth doing for 4 1/2 years I wouldn't hold my breath. The best you can do is put all of the sigs you need into the signature, then delete all but the one you want before sending.

I'm trying to set up a signature on my email account. The signature appears on the screen when I'm creating an email, but does'nt appear on the email to the person I've sent it to. All it shows is an empty box... Please help! xoxo

I did use that functionality. I am looking at this thread now on my iPhone and I see the images just fine!
