Hi,

Am I wrong or are we not able to add signature to our messages with Nextcloud mail?
See: https://github.com/owncloudarchive/mail/issues/654

Thanks,

It's still missing. Wanna help implement it? 😉

Most of the work is already done: owncloud-archive/mail#1616

@JakubSs AFAIK nobody is working on it at the moment, so feel free to dive into the code and help finish this feature ;-)

As small suggestion, I recommend moving the mail settings ui to the personal settings area:
/index.php/settings/personal#mail-settings

I'm sure in time there'll be some more options for the mail app...

PS: If there's a nextcloud dev, may the personal settings area can also be splitted into subpages, as already done on admin area (/index.php/settings/personal/mail/).

Oh and it would be awesome if HTML signatures are possible (HTML hasn't been mentioned here yet).
HTML signatures are industry standard these days, and actually very few ways exist to send emails with HTML signatures on mobile devices. So this would be a killer feature.

Thanks for your work everyone!

Same here. Absolutely necessary in business due to law restrictions. You have to have a signature...

Not into coding aswell, so cannot be any help, sorry. Just want to state that i know companies (beside my own) hat would like to use mail also inside nextcloud but can´t

Here's a crazy idea. It's simplicity will astound you.
How about if the end user uploads a plain-text file with exactly the name "sig.txt" and puts it in the root folder of their Nextcloud files, then the Mail app notices the existence of this file, and appends the contents of said sig.txt to the bottom of all new emails (after stripping out potentially malicious characters like "<", ">", "#!", etc).

[esbeeb]

Here's an idea that will incentivize this feature. New installations of the Mail app should create the sig.txt for all existing and new users, if they don't already have one (in their root folders). And inside those default sig.txt files could be a little advertisement for Nextcloud, saying something like "sent from Nextcloud, which is awesome. Check it out at https://nextcloud.com".

The end user gets to change the sig.txt of course, with, say, the Nextcloud "Text editor" app.

This has been asked about from my clients. They are not large enough to be able to pay for an enterprise subscription at this point tho. To small.

I pitched in a 100 usd for the bounty. So its now up at 235 usd
