Export Signatures?

Help

Hi there! I’m installing Mailspring on my new laptop. I’d love to keep my existing signatures from the previous laptop. Is there a way to export existing signatures so that I can import them into the new installation? Thanks!

There’s no dedicated export/import UI for signatures, but it’s easy to do manually since signatures are stored in Mailspring’s config.json file.

To transfer your signatures:

  1. On your old machine, find the config file:
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Mailspring/config.json
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\Mailspring\config.json
    • Linux: ~/.config/Mailspring/config.json
  2. Open the file and copy out the "signatures" and "defaultSignatures" keys and their values.
  3. On your new machine, open its config.json and paste those keys in (with Mailspring closed).

Make sure Mailspring is fully quit before editing the file, then restart it on the new machine — your signatures should appear.
