If you’re ever feeling overwhelmed by your email inbox, there’s a quick and easy way to clear it out: Log out of Mail. To log out of Mail on a Mac, open the app and click the “Log Out” button in the top right corner. You’ll be prompted to confirm your decision, and then you’ll be taken out of Mail and back to your desktop. ..


You can have your signature automatically added to any messages you send in the Mail app on your Mac. Select Mail > Preferences, then Signatures. In the left column, choose an account. Click the Choose Signature pop-up menu and select a signature.

You should usually just log out when you’re finished using your computer. This stops all the processes that are running and keeps your Mac safe. Because you don’t have to wait for your computer to start up, logging in is far easier.

Mac computers come with a variety of user profiles, and Apple’s Mac computers support that. Avoiding logging out of your profile before leaving the computer prevents others on the same computer from seeing your files, applications, and preferences. A keyboard shortcut or a menu option can be used to log off manually on a Mac.

Select a signature in the Signatures section of Preferences. Click Select Signature in the menu that appears. Choose the signature you want to use (if you’ve made more than one).

Click the Show Markup Toolbar button (if the Markup toolbar isn’t showing), then click the Sign option. To create and save your signature, follow the on-screen instructions. Add your signature by clicking the Sign button followed by the signature.

The main reason for switching off your Mac rather than shutting it down is that it can’t do maintenance tasks while it’s sleeping. When you turn off your Mac, it goes through a slew of operations every night while “napping.” “Power Nap” is Apple’s term for this sleep mode.
