You can turn this on or off under the GEAR > Settings > General > Conversation View Stefanie Hahn | www.StefanieHahn.net | June 2012 25. Gmail - Multiple Signatures I have 5 different accounts that forward into my Gmail inbox. I respond out as if I were answering from each different account. So if you sent me an email at [email protected] my return email to you would have that same address, even though I am answering you from within my Gmail inbox. Additionally, I can have signatures for ALL of my different email addresses! Stefanie Hahn | www.StefanieHahn.net | June 2012 26. Gmail - Multiple Signatures Stefanie Hahn | www.StefanieHahn.net | June 2012 27. Gmail - Multiple Signatures My thoughts on photos in your email signature Consider that many people are reading your email on their mobile device. Be aware that many email services (Gmail included) block photos in your email by default the user can allow photos in a setting change. Formatting is a challenge every service, every device, every user might see your email differently than you intended (sizes, position, etc.) Stefanie Hahn | www.StefanieHahn.net | June 2012 28. Gmail - Contacts Gmail is NOT a contact management system. However, they have some great tools for working with your contacts!
