Signature edits in mac mail won't save

Everytime I close mac mail my edits to my signatures disappear, won't save. The last answer to this was 2017 and that "solution" didn't work. Whats the deal?

The mail application is corrupted , remove the accounts and once again add https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mail/mail35803/mac

If you are using secondary authentication account in which three answers for security questions , date of birth , rescue mail address and its password is added , and iCloud Keychain is set up in Mac , make sure you must have iCloud Keychain verification code in records as it will be required once you add gmail or whatever services used and iCloud account .


( a ) Open system preferences > iCloud > the box for keychain is checked , click on options , click on change security code .


( b ) Click on security code > enter new code in the fields and click on next , you have to enter the new code for the second time and click on next .


In the next window the country code is written , enter your trusted mobile number …….and click on done .

Again enter your Apple ID password to update your account settings and click on ok , hence the code is changed , so write down this code in a safe place .

Note : once the code is generated then remove mail accounts and once again add it , make sure must have correct credentials like Apple ID password , web mail address and its password in your records .
