I can't believe that I have to install a $5 app to enable multiple signatures from my iPad2, and then be forced to use that app for all email and copy/paste on replies. Sounds pretty ridiculous.
I have multiple email accounts - business, youth football league, personal. I sign differently, and with different contact information, depending on which account I'm replying from - or generating a new email from.
Thankfully, I am able to set a signature for each email account on my Palm Pre - WebOS. This seems pretty basic to me.
@Allan Sampson - I completely disagree. The purpose of a signature is NOT to identify that you sent the message from a mobile device, but to give information on how to contact you, or about your company, etc. It's marketing, and making someone feel inferior that they don't have a gadget that I do. Plus, I don't want someone to know if I'm sending an email from a mobile device.
Totally agree with WebOSGuy - the Mobile devices should replace the lap- or desktop computers. And no one needs to know where I am in the office or on the go. I have my office signature installed in Mail in my iPad and have to highlight and erase it each time I don't want to send it. Since it is inserted even in replies and forwarded mails. Quite tedious! Let's hope an update will resolve the matter soon!
Cheers
I agree. It's ludicrous that such basic functionality should be missing, although it's not the only thing. There's no way to set the Out-of-Office messages on Exchange for example.
I'm not confident that this will be fixed by an update soon, after all we're already on iOS 5 and it's still missing. I guess these things aren't ready for corporate use after all. The Android devices I've been testing have this built-in, although the functionality varies between manufacturers.
Submitted. Now we wait!
Good luck ;-)
After trying all sorts of apps and tricks, I was never really satisfied with their look. But there is an easy and satisfying solution to have the same HTML email signature on the iPhone as on Mail on a laptop. I create a new email in Mail on my Mac using my business email signature with logo and hyper links. I only give it a subject e.g. 'Template' and save it as a draft and repeat this ten times or so. If you are using Gmail or any IMAP account, the drafts folder will immediately be synced with your iPad or iPhone - make sure in Preferences you use 'save drafts on server' option. In your 'Drafts' you now have ten blank emails named Template with your HTML email signature, looking exactly as the one you are using on Mail on the mac and all your links are functional. When the ten are used up, just create a new batch.
I found a great app for this. Try ClipSwap. It allows you to save your signature on 4 clipboards within the app. All you have to do is save your signature (up to 4) on one of the clipboards and choose which one you want to use. Then go to your mail app and just paste.
It includes images also. Best of all? It's FREE!
it still doesn't excuse Apple from leaving out such basic no-brain functionality.
