2. In Outlook Mobile, make sure that your e-mail has synced and go to your sent folder, open the test message that was sent, highlight the signature itself and click copy:

3. Click the back arrow to get back to the sent box … 

4. Click the Office logo in the top left corner and click Settings “Gear” at the bottom left corner of the screen.

5. In the settings screen, click the ‘Signature’ option … Delete the default signature, click and hold in the signature window and paste the signature copied from the test message.

6. Click the Check-mark in the top right corner of the Signature window to save and close the signature

7. click the back arrow in the top left corner to get back to the Sent folder.
