Mail signatures drop down

I have a problem that others are having but I can not find any solution in the archives.
I have signatures added in preferences, in the specific account I use, but they no longer show up in the drop down menu on the email. I think this started when I added a new mail account and switched my mail host and account last week.
Is there a fix?
Thanks,
David
10.6.8
Mail 4.5

It's been a while since I used Mavericks, but I believe in the New Message window, there is an icon at the bottom left of a new message window which allows you to customized the fields. Once open, there should be a box there to show or hide the signature field. If not, try right clicking on it for a customize window.
Mail (Mavericks): Customize a message header
When you write a message, choose which fields to include in the header.
In the New Message window, click the Customize pop-up menu (it has horizontal lines on it) in the lower-left corner of the header area, then choose Customize.
Select the items to include, then click OK.Some items are shown only when they’re valid. For example, the Signature checkbox appears only if you have a signature.

  • Can't get the "Choose signature" drop down menu to work

    I have changed my mail signature and can't get the "Choose signature" drop down menu to work. It is Grayed out and I can't use it as a choice, thus I don't have any signature when composing mail.
    suggestions?

    When customizing my Button Toobars I can't get the Bookmark Toolbar Drop down menu to stay, it simply disappears once I close the customization window

  • Signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    signature drop down menu greyed out. I believe it is because I saved the pdf document after placing a signature.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9

    Do you mean the drop-down list that shows up when you right-click on the signature (in the Signature Panel or signature field)?
    I do not think that just saving a PDF with no changes would result in that unless you somehow flattened the PDF.
    Can you see the signature in the Signature Panel? Can you expand ([+] at left) the signature? Does the Signature Panel provide info for this signature? Is the signature validated? If "yes" then is the signature status Valid?
    It could be that when you saved the file you somehow flattened the signature, so that now you have only signature appearance in the PDF but not a real signature field which contains all signature properties. If the Signature Panel does not contain your signature (enpty if your signature was the only one) then this is the most likely cause.

  • Choose signature drop-down menu is grayed out

    I know how to set up a signature for email; however, the "Choose Signature" drop-down menu is grayed out. I even put in several signatures thinking it needed more than one to choose from, but it is still grayed out. So I cannot choose a signature and thus my email does not have one.
    +Choose Signature+
    +Select a signature to appear in messages for the selected account. You can also choose to use all of the signatures in sequential or random order+
    So that option does not appear to be available.
    Any suggestions?

    Ah, I was just clicking on the + to add one, since I only have one email account.. As soon as I did as you mentioned, and THEN clicked on the + it added Signature 2, and that one works. I now have a signature in the email.
    Thank you VERY much!!!

  • HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

    Hi
    I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings.  I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account. 
    Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'. 
    Is this of any relevance?  Is it 'normal'? 
    I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens. 
    I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
    I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

    Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
    Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings.  I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
    In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
    I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
    I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • Mail signature dropped and randomised

    I have recently had problems with my signatures in Mail. The signature is ok on my default mail account but for all my other addresses it is as if Mail cannot hold them. In my Mail preferences they are sitting there but won't stick to their relevant accounts. I re-assign the signatures to their accounts and that works until I exit the programme but then they go missing.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi Mike,
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this whole folder to the Desktop & reboot, setup a Signature or 3 again & see if they hold...

  • E-mail alias drop-down menu in Mail missing?

    Ordinarily when I create a new e-mail in Mail, the new e-mail window has a drop-down menu from which I can pick an e-mail alias.  It's disappeared for some reason.  How do I restore it?
    I don't know if it's connected, but at the moment, I seem to be unable to send a message from Mail.  I checked the connection, and it said it's fine, but the message won't send.  Was able to send using iCloud.com, though.

    That only appears if you have multiple smtp servers. If you are not able to send emails, I would guess one of your smtp servers is not on line.  Check the Connection Doctor to see if there is a problem.

    Sorry, I misunderstood. Apple calls it "the From pop-up menu" — see under Set the From address in this Apple doc:
    Mail (Mavericks): Address messages
    ...Presumably if follow the instructions there and set "Send new messages from" to the address you want, you won't then need to click on the "From pop-up menu" and see the incorrect address.
    Perhaps someone else here knows how to remove the incorrect address completely — or try clicking on "Manage your Apple ID" here:

  • Mail Signatures Not Saved

    I have Mail 3.4 and in the preferences I have entered three signatures for my email account and checked the "random" setting. I have tried entering the signatures in the email account I am using, entered them in all and dragged to the email account and closed preferences. If I leave the Mail program open, I can choose any one of the three signatures from the drop down to sign an email but when I close the Mail program the three signatures are gone from my mail account and only "none" is available in a new message signature drop down. I must go back and drag them to my mail account again for the new session. The signatures are listed in the all signature section.
    The problem is the signatures are not saving in my email account when I close the program. All othe options save but not the signatures.
    Any help?

    I just logged in for the exact same issue!
    I am guessing that there is a preference or other small part/user library that is corrupted. I do not know which one, so hopefully someone here will have the answer!

  • Missing Alias/account drop down menu when composing?

    This morning, when using MAIL, the drop-down menu to choose which alias to send an email from seems to be gone. My alias's are all still properly set up and the options is there when using webmail.
    I've tried the "customize" section when composing mail (which sets the fleilds shown like "to" "reply to" "BCC", etc) and it's not an option in there either.
    I haven't changed any account settings or prefs in Mail in months, and have tried swapping an older plist file in place in case that had something to do with it.
    Anyone else having a similar problem? Better yet, anyone have a fix?
    Thanks!

    Hi. I've got quite the same problem with regular accounts. I've got an IMAP and a POP account and i'm stuck trying to send an email to google groups with my pop-account because mail automaticly uses my imap-account. the google groups of course denies my post since my imap-account is not allowed to post there. In Thunderbird (i just migrated from linux) it automaticly used the account in which the mail arrived to send from and showed a drop down menu just in case. but mail uses my imap account and i see no way to change that behavior (that option with "send from last used account" (i don't know how exactly it translates from german/don't know how it's called in english mail) is active.)
    hope to get some help soon.

  • How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

    The desired workflow is for
    1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
    section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
    portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
    e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
    2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
    completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
    Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
    Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
    and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
    3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
    the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
    Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
    Lieutenant 2;
    4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
    and Battalion Chief 2
    5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
    Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
    Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
    form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

    Hi Katie,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
    See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.

  • Corruption, crashing, signature dropping, duplicate mails sent omg

    *First the facts:*
    . Mail folder (in Library) is almost 6GB (cringe), most of which (3.1GB) is used by one of my 5 pop mail accounts
    . envelope index is 33 MB
    Crashing:
    . Occasionally mail crashes and gives me the 'Mail has quit unexpectadly...do you want to report it, reopen it or close it'
    Corruption:
    . Certain messages have become confused, specifically an email that I sent to one person may have the message body of a message i sent to another person
    .I also get the following message for a lot of old emails: 'The message from [email protected] concerning “RE: very important subject” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it.'
    . some recipients receive my emails twice
    . the signature I assigned to one of my accounts isn't consistently available; one day I assign the signature to the profile and the sig is available to use in the top right corner of a new mail, next day it is not available in that drop down box
    I'm pretty sure the size of my mail folder has a lot to do with this so I'd appreciate any advice on how to fix this situation but also on a way to manage my mail going forward.
    Very much obliged.

    First try this, Quit Mail. Move these files to the Desktop in...

    I click cancel and the drop down exits and reappears. Do I have a virus? Now what?

  • How can I remove a mailbox address from the "From" drop down box in a new e-mail my old e-mail address continue to populate as the sender address

    How can I remove a mailbox address from the "From" drop down box in a new e-mail my old e-mail address continue to populate as the sender address

    Hello,
    Try Mail>Preferences>Accounts icon>Account Information tab>Click on the Outgoing SMTP server drop down, choose edit Server list, highlight the old one & click Remove.
    (Such convolution is worthy of Windows® in my estimation)

  • My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

    After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

    No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
    I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.
