When sending e-mails, you want to send your contact information automatically if possible. This is what the personal signature is for. By setting up a personal signature, each of your emails will contain your contact information below the email text. This is comparable to a normal business card. It is possible to create a signature within the Microsoft program Outlook or within the online version OWA.
