Syncing Mail.app Signatures in OS X Lion

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 14:45:00 -0500

These days, people are mad about syncing stuff. They put whatever they can in the cloud, access it and modify from different devices and go “oooh magic”.

It is cool, I have to admit. And quite useful too, sometimes. One could argue this is mostly Apple’s fault. MobileMe, as broken as it was, used to be the most amazing, unrealized dream: have all your user experience synced across different Macs with just a few clicks. Down to details as silly as dock icons and desktop picture. However, Apple decided to destroy it and build the service from scratch: enter iCloud. It seems to be much easier to work with, more reliable and bullet-proof. But the cost is a severely limited feature set in comparison to MobileMe. I miss Keychain syncing (I had to purchase the ugly 1Password), preferences syncing, dock icons syncing. And finally — which is the topic of this post — mail signatures syncing.

I use mail signatures quite extensively. I treat them as mail message templates and I have about 20 set up. Therefore lack of synchronization in this area is particularly painful to me. If you’re in the same boat, read on.

Enter Dropbox (of course) and symbolic links. It has been done with other areas of the system but I haven’t seen a simple hint on syncing signatures. So, here goes. Instructions for a regular human being:

Jump to the following folder: ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/ (where ~ is path to your home folder).
You will see a bunch of cryptic files and the folder which contains your signatures — quite conspicuously named “Signatures”. You can go inside and Quicklook them if you want.
Launch Terminal (located in Applications/Utilities folder). I’m sorry it’s getting geeky but it’s actually very simple. Launch Terminal. Now.
Enter this command:
```
ln -s ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures ~/Desktop/Signatures
```
This creates a symbolic link to your Signatures folder.
Confirm by hitting Return and quit Terminal.
Take a peek at your desktop — you will find the symlink is already there. It looks just like a regular folder, with a small arrow in bottom left corner.
Move it wherever you want within your Dropbox folder.

Now, move to the second computer.

Wait for Dropbox to sync the Signatures folder. It will be a regular folder here.
Quit Dropbox.
Go to ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/ and rename existing Signatures folder to something else, like “AsphyxiationThroughScrambledEggsInEyeSockets”.
Grab Signatures folder from Dropbox and move it here.
Launch Terminal and enter the command from step #4 above.
Grab newly created symlink from your desktop and move it to Dropbox, into the exact same folder where Signatures folder used to be, before you moved it out.
Launch Dropbox.
Have some bacon. You’re done.

From now on, signatures will sync between your computers. You can use this method on as many machines as you want but remember one thing: the greater number of computers syncing the same information, the greater risk of file conflict problem. These aren’t that hard to rectify though, so no worries.

tl;dr — instructions for geeks: symlink your Signatures folder anywhere in Dropbox and then on another machine, move it from Dropbox to ~/Library/… and symlink back to Dropbox. Have some bacon.
