How to add my own signature
« on: March 14, 2017, 08:26:46 pm »
 :o Hi everyone. When
I first installed Aqua mail I figured out how & where to add my own signature in my outgoing emails. But I can't remember where I went and how I did it. There doesn't seem to be an option that I can see in settings to do this. Can anyone please let me know how to do it please?  There must be a way since I did it once. Thanks. ;)

In Account list (the app's main window):
-> long press on account name (this opens "account specific" options) -> Options and folders - > Composing and sending -> tap on 'Signature' -> enter your signature

Is there any way to add graphic logos as a signature?
Thank you...

Yes there is a "switch to rich text" button in the signature editor.

It's visible in @mikeone's second screenshot, above.

And then the "insert image" button is almost on the very right in the "icon bar with formatting commands", you may need to scroll the icon bar (horizontally) to see it.

Greetings,

Apologies for my lack of technical knowledge right up front.

I have been given some HTML code for an email signature from "my web guy" that I would like to use in my AquaMail account. Does AquaMail support this, or do email signatures need to be entered only as text/rich text and .jpg?

If the app will support HTML, would someone be so kind as to help me through the process of adding the HTML? I added the code to the signature, but alas it shows up as just that, code, rather than a nice, shiny sig.

Thank you for your help.

Aqua Mail does "support HTML" - any formatting you create is sent encoded as HTML.

But - there is no "paste pre-cooked HTML" feature.

We're in the process of switching to a whole new text editor, so far in 1.14 (the version we're currently working on) it's only for the compose screen itself - and the version *after that* 1.15 should use the new editor for the signature setting, and we're planning on making it possible to "paste pre-cooked HTML" then.

So in short - sorry this app can't do this right now, planned, one version over.

Hello, I don't find this to be true. I added html open and close formatting to a plain text signature, but the code was added to the signature, instead of being recognized as HTML.
Is this a feature of the Pro version?

Thank you,

AquaGirl

You don't find what being true?

That Aqua Mail sends formatted text as HTML?

Yes it does.

Because when you pasted HTML code -- you got that HTML code, as text, and not the "meaning" of that HTML code?

Completely in-sync with what I wrote above.

---

I'm going to type some HTML code into this message, and the forum software will too show it as text, instead of interpreting the tags.

<h2>header</h2>
<p>paragraph</p>
<ol>
<li>numbered list, item 1</li>
<li>numbered list, item 2</li>
<li>numbered list, item 3</li>
</ol>
<div>
<div style="float: left;">this will float left</div>
<div style="float: right;">and this will float right</div>
</div>

See how this works?

Until we add that new feature for "I have some pre-cooked HTML code and I want to paste it in, as code, not as text" - until we add that, that feature won't be there. Just as I wrote above.

I don't know why this is not working anymore... it used to.  I had the signature in my aquamail for years... My google pixel xl bricked the other day.  I got my new one the next day and google restored everything, except the settings in aquamail and a few others.  I went in to aquamail to redefine my html signature like I had previously and it embeds it in the email as plan text rather than html... help...

To add formatting in the signature editor you need to use the "add formatting" button there.

And "pasting read-to-go HTML" isn't supported in the currently released (1.14) version.

Hello Kostya,
I just registered to thank you for this really clear answer. I had to do some Google-Research before landing on this page with this answer, but it perfectly fits. It fascinates me how people don't try to read / be clear in their answer / be friendly...

This is one of the only apps I ever paid for and am happy to have done so. Hoping to see 1.15 land soon to be able to use my pre-formatted HTML signature on mobile as well :)
Thanks for your dedication.

Thank you @ChriKn, appreciate this.

I started working on this today - and although it's not a completely trivial task, it should be available in "1.15-dev" builds on the forum before it's released on Play.

So I'd recommend keeping an eye on the "development builds" section - or more conservatively you can sign up for our official "beta" updates here:

Version 1.15 had to be released without this feature.

I just posted the first 1.16.0-dev version which does have it. Fresh off the press.
