Opera Mail Tutorial (Opera M2)
While our Opera Mail tutorial focuses on Windows, keep in mind that Opera Mail (M2) is a "cross-platform" email client: it runs on Windows, Apple's Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, QNX, FreeBsd, etc.We use Opera Mail and Opera M2 interchangeably; both refer to Opera's built-in email client. Opera Mail is not the same thing as "OperaMail", a free webmail service offered by Opera Software.
Creating an Email Signature in Opera Mail (M2)
Automatically appending a signature to all your outgoing emails is a great time saver, and the feature is easily customized in Opera Mail. Opera Mail also enables you to have one separate email signature for each email account.

Changing Your Email Signature in Opera Mail
Email signatures in Opera Mail are attached to a given email account; thus, configuring your signature is done from the corresponding email account's Properties.
To edit your signature in Opera Mail, go to Tools > Mail and chat accounts, and select the email account for which you want to modify or disable the email signature. Click Edit. 
The Account Properties dialog will open for the email account you selected; click the Outgoing tab.
Near the bottom, under the Signature label, there is a text box; simply type in your desired email signature. (Opera Mail does not support HTML signature, but will insert new lines where you put them; just break your signature in lines as you want it to appear to your email recipients.)
From now on, Opera Mail will append a double hyphen (--) at the end of your outgoing emails, and your signature on the line below.
If you have setup several email accounts, Opera Mail will allow you one signature for each of them; simply repeat the procedure described above.
