adding signature in windows mail

I just started to use windows 8 and I noticed that I am not getting any alerts when I get an email in windows mail, nor can I add my signature to a message I want to send, how do I set these functions?

If you're talking about windows 'metro' in the mail 8 application they there no email notification

You can still use Windows Live Mail (a mail client) if that's important to you

Hi Daniel,.

There is an in-app Mail notification system. You can check that it is enabled for your account by:

Opening of the Mail app

To show the charm of settings by pressing " + I"

Click on 'accounts '.

Click the account that you are having problems with

Scroll down the settings and make sure the "show of notice by e-mail for this account" is enabled!

There are also a couple of global settings that should be on by default:

Opening of the Mail app

To show the charm of settings by pressing " + I"

Click "Permissions".

Ensure that the Notifications and Lockscreen is on 'ON '.

Hope this has helped. Please let me know.

Thank you

  • How to stop windows mail spelling my signature every time that I have send a message.

    Hello

    I have a custom email signature I settled by default on my message options. Whenever I compose a message, the spelling check includes my signature. I need to spell check my actual post without going through the spelling of signature every time.

    Also, I can't insert any default signature message. There must be a limit to the number of characters, you are able to use. Is there a way around this problem as my message signature cut three quarters of the way through.

    Thank you very much

  • How can I switch to another profile of e-mail in Windows Mail?

    original title: How do I MOVE to a different MESSAGING PROFILE in WINDOWS MAIL?

    I use Windows Mail in Windows Vista Home Premium operating system. I have two email accounts created and added in my Windows Mail program and I would like to ask for help as to how I can get to my default account not to check my emails and on how I can switch from one account to another. Your help is greatly appreciated for that matter.

    Thank you

    Tools | Accounts |  (default) Email account | Properties | In general. Check the 'include this account... '. ».

    Set the "switching." They are both in an identity so the only thing to change is when you create a new message, use the drop-down menu to the right of the From field to determine which account you are sending from.

    If you receive messages from both accounts in the same Inbox, you can use message rules to hijack one of them for a user created folder.

    First, create a local folder to be used as a second Inbox and name it anything you want.  Use it to one of the accounts, as well as the default Inbox for the other.

    Then create a message rule.

    Where the message comes from the specified account.
    Move it to the specified folder & stop processing more rules.
    Click: specified account and enter the account name for the second Inbox.
    Click: specified folder and select the folder that you created.
    Name the rule.

    Move the rule to the top of the list of rules, and incoming messages will be separated into their respective folders.

    And if you used OE and had several identities, this feature was not included in WinMail, but you may be interested by this.

  • Windows Mail - insert HTML signature?

    Greetings,
    Using Windows Mail (Vista), I tried to follow the instructions: http://www.timeatlas.com/mos/Email/General/Create_Image_Signatures_in_Windows_Mail_or_Live_Mail/
    When insert > file htm or html Signature, email image won't display, only a red X. So I kept Live Mail tips, with the same result.
    Bed Notepad the HTML code and maintains the path information.
    the same file to be opned in widows Mail REMOVES the path information.

    Basically, it seems once I saved the HTML it adds or removes information, which makes the image is no longer visible.

    Windows Mail - insert HTML signature?
    (1) path Info IS recorded and visible in Notepad.
    (2) Windows Mail is to REMOVE the path information

    Hey sadicus,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers Forum!

    1. this problem may occur if the Windows Mail is unable to locate the source of the image to be included in the e-mail message.

    2. to resolve this problem, use a text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the custom signature HTML file to add the full path of the location of the graphics file information before sending the e-mail message.  Here is an example of the code without the path:

    3. This example of HTML refers to the Test.gif file. Only the source of the image (img src) information, lists the file name, but does not list the path to the files. In this example, you would change the HTML code:

  • Adding a footer in Windows Mail

    Does anyone know how to add a footer for messages in Windows Mail? I tried to use the signing setting, but it happens that exactly that - a signature at the end of a message. I would like to add something that is located at the bottom of each message and includes a small picture, but I can't find a setting that will allow me to do.

    You must designate a HTML file for the signature (aka low page), then specify the image in the HTML file.  Then a simple example is the copy that and paste it into Notepad:

    This is a text


    Then modify it as you wish and put in the full path to the image.  Then save it with a htm file extension.  Then go to tools | Options | Signatures and click New and then at the bottom, select the file option and browse to the htm file.
