||| Apple very recently banned the display of images loaded from an external server in its Mail software. Our team is working hard to create a dedicated solution.
|| We invite you to take a look at the free Spark software (/en/article/integration-of-your-mail-signature-with-spark-on-macosx-c2bwju/), which easily takes over from Apple's software, offers a more recent solution, and offers total synchronisation between your devices (you configure it on your Mac, and it's automatically synchronised on your iPhone and iPad).
- Copy the HTML code of your email signature from your CARD.PM user account (select the text in blue then right-click > copy).
- Once you have copied your HTML file from your computer, go to MAIL > PREFERENCES > SIGNATURES and click on the "+" icon for the email account of your choice (if you have more than one).
At this point, either an "automatic" text will insert itself into the signature, or you can write a short text such as "essay" for example.
Next, exit the preferences and close the Apple Mail application.
- modify the .mailsignature file
For your information, this file is created automatically when you add a signature in the Mail preferences (step 2 of this tutorial) and it is this file that you will need to modify to personalise your email signature with the CARD.P signature.
To do this, go to your Mac desktop:
Keep the header in green and modify the code in red with your own HTML
3.1. go to FINDER
3.2. click on the GO tab and simultaneously press the ALT / OPTION KEY
3.3. this will bring up the hidden LIBRARY tab - hold down the option key to bring up this menu.
Or 2nd method :
In the Finder, select Go > Go to folder.
- In the Go to folder dialog box, enter: ~/Library
Click Go.
3.4. click on MAIL > V8 (or other number) > MAILDATA > SIGNATURE
3.5. then find the last file created, which will be 1XC1D786-D938-3GZ9-FO29-2F02T7J8SL14.mailsignature (check the date and time of creation).
3.6. open the .mailsignature file with your text editor: here, you need to keep the header (green frame) and replace the body (in red) with the HTML code generated in step 1 (red frame in the screenshot below).
Area to keep in green and replace in red with the HTML code for your signature (copied from step 1)
3.7. don't forget to save your changes!
Before opening the Mail application again, you need to lock the .mailsignature file by right-clicking on it > then click on "Read information" and tick the "Locked" box.
- Check the result of your professional email signature
Now open the Apple Mail application and prepare a test email by selecting your signature.
