Outlook Inbox Adding a Signature to Your Email
You can create a "Signature" for your email with information such as your phone number, company, job title, and even a disclaimer concerning privacy of your email. You can use fancy logos, or basic text. Each email you send will have your special "Signature" for others to see. Do the following activity to create a "Signature" for your Outlook email.
