Email Signatures

Updated: 2/17/2021

This article applies to all staff that use or have access to a metroymcas.org email address.

It is important for you (the end-user) to know how to access and modify your email signature(s).  We have included some instructions and links below to help enable you to make any necessary changes.  Before you make changes please take time to read and understand the below information.

Information is being added to the end of your emails at the system level.  This addition of information happens for messages leaving the organization.  In other words the addition is applied when sending to any non @metroymcas.org addresses.  This information includes annual support campaign information and our legal disclaimer.  This means that if you have that information added at the client level (where you see it when you compose an email) it will be duplicated for the recipient.  We want to avoid that from happening.  Please take care to review and edit your signatures to remove any annual support campaign information or any legal disclaimers.  To test what your email signature looks like send an email from your staff account to your home email address. 

Example of what your email signature should look like in you email signature settings:
