Creating an automatic email signature is sometimes overlooked when setting up a new email address, but it can serve as an easy way to include contact information like a phone number or website, as well as your title. For those using Microsoft Outlook, here's how to automatically add a signature to your emails.

To add a signature to your email using Outlook.com, visit the website in your browser and log in. Select the gear icon in the upper-right corner near your profile picture, then select the Mail tab on the left and choose Compose & Reply from the submenu. From there, you should see a text box where you can write your email signature. You can make the text bold, italic, or even add an image. You can also choose which email signature you want for new messages and replies/forwards. Don’t forget to give your email signature a name when you save it; you can create multiple email signatures, for example, you could create a standard signature and one for holidays.

To add a signature in the Outlook app for Android or iOS, download the Outlook app on your phone and sign in. Tap your profile icon in the upper left next to the word Inbox. In the lower left, you'll see a gear icon for Settings. Within Outlook Settings, you'll see Signature; tap it to change it. A text box will appear with the default email signature, "Get Outlook for Android." Type your email signature into that text box and select the checkmark in the upper right to save it.

If you’re on the desktop site and want to change your signature, go back to Outlook.com and sign in. Click the gear icon, choose the Mail tab, then Compose and reply. Edit what you want to change in the text box, then click Save.
