Automatic signatures in classic Outlook for Windows

MailTail applies your signature to new emails automatically in the classic Outlook desktop app on Windows, the same as Outlook on the web and on Mac. The add-in signs in on its own and pulls your current signature each time. There's nothing to switch on and no button to press per email.

If a signature doesn't appear the first time

Occasionally, on a machine that's just had the add-in deployed, the first new email can come through without a signature. Open the MailTail panel once to sort it:

1. Start a new email.
2. On the ribbon, open MailTail. The panel opens on the right and loads your signature.
3. Start a fresh email. The signature now applies on its own.

Opening the panel gives the add-in a signed-in starting point and saves a copy of your signature to your mailbox as a backup, so new emails stay covered even if a sign-in is ever slow.

Still not appearing?

• Fully restart Outlook. Close it completely and reopen it, so it picks up the latest version of the add-in.
• Check auto-apply is on. In the MailTail panel, the "Auto-apply on desktop/web" switch should be on.
• Then start a new email.

If it's still blank, email us at support@mailtail.io and tell us it's the classic Outlook desktop app on Windows.

Outlook on the web and Mac

Nothing to do. Signatures apply automatically on new emails.
