How To: Create an Email Signature in Thunderbird

An email signature is a professional way to close all of your business emails.  It saves you the  time to re-type your name and contact information on every email you write.

1) First in a word processor type up what you want your signature to say.  Above is an example.

2) Save the document as a Text file (.txt) and remember where on your hard drive. (Know how to get to where you saved it)

3) Open Thunderbird, and select the email account that you would like to attach a signature to.  You may only have one email account so just select that.  This will change the right hand portion of the window to have options to manage your account.  See example below.

4) Click on "View settings for this account" in the right hand side of your screen.  This brings up a second window.  At the bottom on this second window you will see the option "Attach this signature".
Check the box next to this option.  See example below.

5) Click the "Choose" button and browse to where you saved the text signature on your hard drive. Select the file and the path will show up in the text area. Then Click "OK". You should now have a signature attached to that account. Close all the windows, and select "write" (as if you were going to write an email) to make sure that it came up on the new email window.
