Troubleshooting: FAQ
If you have tried our Step-by-Step Instructions for installing your email signature in Proton Mail and you run into any issues, please read through this troubleshooting guide before contacting Support for further help.
My email signature doesn't look right when I paste it
More than likely, you have missed copying some of the code. Try pressing Ctrl or ⌘ + A to select all, then Ctrl or ⌘ + C to copy instead of using your mouse to highlight it.
I am composing an email and I can't click on any links or social media icons
In compose mode, most email programs won't allow you to use the links in your email signature. Check to see if your email signature has been installed correctly by sending a test email to yourself instead. The links and social media icons will work when you receive the email.
