Re: Mail signatures

[Bill Parker]

One of my wife’s friends had the habit of sticking bank notes in books and 
forgetting where.   When she moved to the east, her little library turned out 
to be worth a tidy sum

Re: Mail signatures

[Severin Crisp]

Yes, Professors DO keep notes and records, but as they get old and doddery they 
forget where they saved them!   Like my Father, a medico rather than a 
professor and anything but doddery, in the 1940s when a Japanese invasion 
seemed likely he put a significant amount of emergency cash into a book in our 
library which was very extensive - yes, after the excitement had passed he 
forgot which book!  
I had myself already tried your solution below with a similar result.  
I will now take the easy way out and:-
1. Empty the signatures folder on the MBAir
2. Take text copies of the needed signatures from “Sent” emails on the 
iMac
3. As if adding new signatures, paste in the copies on the MacAir
That should fix it!  it may even be how I did it before!

Re: Mail signatures

[Ronda Brown]

hehe hee :-))  I also keep notes and records... but normally can't find them 
when I need to! My excuse is 'my filing system is hopeless'!

I had a good chuckle reading your father's "emergency cash in a book" episode! 
It was a really great idea with the location; to put the cash in a book in the 
library... There was only one flaw in the great idea... :(
---
Email yourself the signatures to MBA copy and paste it into the signature 
settings.
Always a pleasure to help you.

 There should be many files in that Signature Folder - similar to these:
 
 661CF5F7-82D5-4525-8FD2-6C9D9A556A50.mailsignature
 661CF5F7-82D5-4525-8FD2-6C9D9A556A50.webarchive

 92164E81-10BA-40B2-AE4B-23327320A7B1.webarchive
 
 and 
 AccountsMap.plist
 AllSignatures.plist
 ——
 If there aren’t any of files there - you don’t have any signatures - and 
 will need to setup new signatures and then Assign each new signature to 
 one account, or to multiple accounts and configure their behaviour, as I 
 explained in my previous reply to WAMUG.
 
 If you require details how to setup new signatures, post back & I’ll give 
 you details.

 Hi Severin,
 
 Going back to your original post to WAMUG mailing list.

 Don’t Professors keep notes ;-)
 
 I don’t know how you transferred all your Data over from the iMac to the 
 MacBook Air, but I’m assuming that when you transferred Mail you also 
 transferred Keychain Data across.
 
 Ok - On the iMac is Mail working all correctly and the signatures are 
 attached to their correct accounts?
 On the MacBook Air Mail accounts are now all working correctly but 
 signatures are not showing?
 If this is so, I would suggest you try:
 
 On the iMac and MacBook Air 
 1.  Make sure Mail is QUIT
 2. Turn OFF Time Machine
 3. Then copy the 'Signatures Folder' located at  
 ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData/Signatures Folder
 from the iMac 
 4. Then place the Signatures folder in the same location  
 ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData/Signatures Folder
 on the MacBook Air (replacing the original Signatures folder) 
 5.Then launch Mail on the MacBook Air
 
 Provided that you have the same accounts set up on the MacBook Air as you 
 do on the iMac, your signatures should be attached to their correct 
 accounts.
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni
