problem with mail signatures

I can't get my signature to come up on my emails all of the sudden. Anyone know what the problem could be? This happenned when I changed my email server and created a new mail account to go with it. I assigned the signature to the new account but when I write a new email I can't get the signature to come up.

MacBook Air (11-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion

I have been trying to figure this out for awhile. I deleted and old signature and tried to add my new one. It would not show up time after time…… after time! I kept messing with it over and over and somehow it finally worked. I am not sure but I think there may be a period of time before it actually updates the information??? I had been going immediately to compost a new email to see if it was not there. While sitting here in frustration…. It all of a sudden worked on the next attempt to write an email. Good Luck to all! This can be rather frustrating at times. Seems they would just have a "Save Signature" button if you asked me! Guess that would be to simple! lol

On my Mac (not iDevice), whenever I made a change to text or formatting to a signature within my Signatures Preferences Pane, the changes would remain in effect until I quit Mail and relaunched it. At that time, they'd revert to the original signature content and format.


After trying a bunch of solutions to no avail, I found a simple one that worked:


From the Signature Prefs Pane within Mail:


-Select signature

-Make formatting changes

-Select All

-Copy

-Click "+" button to create a new signature

-Paste into new signature pane

-Rename signature to whatever you want to call it

-Save original signature just in case you have issues

-Quit Mail, then relaunch it and confirm the changes are still in place


Worked for me...
