#3 Todd's Tuesday Tech Tip: How to Set an Email Signature

Have you ever gotten an email from someone and you know you know them, but you aren't quite sure how?  Well, put yourself in the shoes of someone who works with every single person in the district, namely our new Tech Director Maureen Miller.  She gets hundreds of emails with requests and try as she may, she can't always remember where someone works and what they do.  So, she's asked that we all take three minutes and set up an email signature.

What is an email signature? It is simply a 'return address.'  Think of it as the return address on a letter, except for email.

How do you set up an email signature?  I'm glad you asked.  It is simple.  Just follow these five easy steps:

Click on the little gear up in the top right corner of your email window.

 

When you click on the gear, a drop down menu will show itself:

 Here you need to click on the settings tab.

 

You will need to scroll down to the signature section of the settings.  

Here is where you'll enter your contact and job information. 

When you are done, make sure you click on Save Changes.  

There you go.  Now, whenever you send email from your school mail account, there will be a signature with all your contact information at the bottom of the email.  I am sure Maureen and others will appreciate this small gesture!
