To add a signature:
1. In the main menu, select File.
2. In the window that opens, select Options.
3. Select Mail.
4. Position the cursor on the Signatures… button and press Ctrl+left mouse button. A folder in the Explorer window opens. It contains all the existing email signature sand can hold an unlimited number of signatures.

6. Close the window and switch to the email client.
7. Click New email.
8. Select Signature in the top right-hand corner. A list with all your signatures appears.
