An email signature is like your electronic calling card. It creates an appeal to your email receivers while giving your message a touch of professionalism. As cPanel does not have a setting for assigning a signature for your email, you will have to access Webmail to add your signature to your email account.
To Access Webmail Account
1. Log in to your cPanel account.
2. Click on Email Accounts in the EMAIL section.
A list of the email accounts currently active on your cPanel hosting will appear.
3. Click the Check Email button to add a signature to the email account.
It will redirect you to the Webmail interface, where you can set up signatures within your Webmail client.

If you choose to create a new identity, click the Create option and enter the details in the respective fields.
5. Click the HTML icon in the Signature field to add your signature.
There is an array of options available to create your signature.
6. You can type a text signature and also add an image. To add an image, click the image icon in the toolbar.
