Adding an Email Signature in Outlook

The process of adding a signature in Outlook is one of the most basic operations
when using Outlook to send work emails for companies, institutions or
employers, whoever they are. It proves the identity of the sender and confirms
that he sent the message. In addition, the signature helps to avoid falling
victim to various security attacks such as fraud, for example. Therefore, in
this article, we will learn with a few simple steps on how to add a signature in Outlook.
