[sepehr-akbarzadeh]

Overview:
The current mailbox client handles incoming and outgoing emails efficiently. To improve user experience and offer more customization options, we propose adding signature support. This feature will enable users to create, manage, and apply personalized signatures to their outgoing emails.

Proposed Features:

1. Signature Creation and Management:

   • Interface in the settings to create and edit multiple signatures.
   • Option to format signatures with HTML or plain text.
   • Ability to include images, links, and other rich media in signatures.

2. Applying Signatures:

   • Option to select a default signature for all outgoing emails.
   • Ability to choose a different signature when composing a new email or replying/forwarding.
   • Integration with existing email composition interface to insert signatures seamlessly.

3. User-specific Settings:

   • Store signatures on a per-user basis.
   • Option to set different signatures for different email accounts if the client supports multiple accounts.

4. Compatibility:

   • Ensure that signatures are correctly displayed across various email clients and devices.
   • Handle different content types and encoding properly to maintain signature integrity.

5. Documentation:

   • Update user guides to include instructions on creating, managing, and applying signatures.
   • Provide examples and best practices for creating effective email signatures.

Benefits:

• Enhances professionalism and personalization of outgoing emails.
• Saves time for users by automating the inclusion of signatures.
• Offers flexibility in how users present themselves through their email communications.

Potential Challenges:

• Ensuring compatibility with different email clients and devices.
• Handling various formats (HTML, plain text) and media (images, links) within signatures.
• Providing a user-friendly interface for managing signatures.

Tasks:

1. Design the user interface for signature creation and management.
2. Implement backend logic to store and retrieve signatures.
