How to recover lost roaming signatures in Outlook

If your Outlook roaming signatures have disappeared, there’s a few things to check first then recover them.

Modern Outlook for Windows has roaming signatures but sometimes they don’t behave. See Roaming email signatures in Outlook 365, 2021, 2019 for how they are supposed to work and Outlook signatures and roaming troubles

  • Does the Outlook software support roaming signatures? Remember that despite Microsoft hype, roaming is only available in modern Outlook for Windows.\
  • Are you looking in the correct mailbox?  In a few cases, there’s been confusion about which mailbox has the signature.

Failing that, all you can do is remake the signatures.  Hopefully a recently send email will have the signature, copy and paste from that into a new signature block.

Tip: during out testing, we added the source computer to each signature label. E.g. Personal (laptop), Personal (desktop) etc.  That might help figure out what signature is roaming, or not.
