Using Outlook for Android for personal email and calendar management
I found a way to make it work on my S8+ with formatted text. I did not try to include images:
- Set up your HTML signature on Outlook on your PC
- Send a blank message to yourself including only your signature as you want it to appear.
- Open the email you received on your PC.
- Right-click on the email text and click 'view source'
***Notepad should have opened and displays <html... to </html>***
- Select all and copy.
- Paste into a new email
- Open the email on your phone.
- Copy everything (<html... to </html>)
- Navigate your Android device to settings -> signature and then paste in everything.
Voila! Do NOT go back and alter the signature after the fact. It will only show you the text and all the formatting will be gone until you paste in the HTML once again!
PS: I just tried to add photos to mine but it did not work. I think this is because the images were not hosted on the web. I think adding photos would work fine as long as they are hosted on the web somewhere. I think the HTML you would use is something like what I pasted below from this instructional link
<img src="http://your.image.url/folder/filename.jpg">
Hope this helps,

Struggling to add an HTML signature (including our company logo) into the Outlook app on Android. Surely this feature exists? Help!
I did the html tag for images and I know for a fact it's hosted on the web because i am using my own web hosting server.. the images still do not show up.. it's 2020 and we cant find a way to add images and proper HTML to email signature via our mobile devices... what a shame
Hi,
I'm trying to have a full signature on Outlook for Android too.
I inserted html signature on my phone, as you did, and for images I used:
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,base64encodedimage>
Example:
<img src="data:image/png;base64,

This way you do not relay on external images (Outlook for Android post process your signature
and consider external link as href so:
<img src="http://somewhere.com/logo.png">
become:
<img src=3D"<a href=3D'http://somewhere.com/logo.png' target==3D'_blank'>http://somewhere.com/logo.png</a>">As result you can add images to your signature. Everyone can correctlysee them (Android outloog, Outlook Web, Thunderbird, Ios Mail, but Outlook Desktop!!!!!!!!!!!!Any Idea?
