Microsoft Outlook - I select "E-mail" and "From: Will not pick default Signature!

[Danny de Hek]

Office Home and Business Microsoft Outlook 2011

I select "E-mail" and "From: Will not pick default Signature!

I have four email accounts and when I select "E-mail" and "From:" and pick a personality the default for each account will NOT display the matching signature I had setup as per below, however when I hit reply to and email received to any of the four accounts them it will grab the default signature for each account like it should.

I was using Microsoft Entourage 2008 and it used to work when I did this, or what am I doing wrong?

Surely I don't need to pick the personality I would like to be then pick the signature I would like to use with that personality each time, isn't that the idea of defaults.

Setting up default signatures

You can set a default signature for each of your mail accounts.

1. On the Outlook menu, click Preferences.
2. Under E-mail, click Signatures .
3. Click Default Signatures.
4. Under Account, select the account for which you want to set a default signature.
5. Under Default signature, click the pop-up menu in the selected row, and then click a signature name.

Note If you have multiple accounts, you must set the default signature separately for each account.
