macOS Outlook signatures vanish after profile migration

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

A user profile migration succeeds, but Outlook for Mac signatures and local preferences disappear.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Confirm what Outlook stores locally versus server-side for that version.
  2. Check whether the profile migration excluded the correct app data containers.
  3. Recreate one signature manually to confirm the app can save settings now.
  4. Document the app data path so future migrations preserve the same preferences.

Technician Notes

Confirm the result, document the root cause, and record any preventative action worth standardizing.
