Just a quick note in case anyone else has been annoyed when trying to use Outlook signatures when they use multiple email accounts. The symptom is that you add signatures to some of your accounts, but when you create new mail, and change to that account the signature does not get added.



I still don’t know WHY it happens, but I have found a way round it. Outlook seems to decide whether or not to bother with signatures based on the rules for the messages for the DEFAULT account. My default account was set to not use signatures, so when hitting new message, signatures didn’t appear even when I changed to an account which I had configured to have a signature.



The solution was simply to create a blank signature for the default account for new messages, that way Outlook processes the signatures, even when switching between mail accounts.
