To share with a friends, few simple steps to add facebook, blogger or any other sharing site quick link in text and graphical (icon style) to your mac mail signature without any html or programming high skill.

Before begin, these few things are needed.

1. Text editor;

2. Site icons, I used fb & blogger in size 32x32 and looks just nice;

3. Site address, eg: www.facebook/yourUserName (click here more info);

4. Simple signature that still in use. (Will be replace after this) Click here if haven't got any.

Next, we shall begin typing your desire information using text editor including to drag in those sharing site icons you have prepare earlier.

Next inserting those link info (sharing site web address) to those icons individually by doing so, highlight the icon then go to Format from menu bar, select Text then Link then paste the web address.

Once done, hightlight the entire info that just created, copy them to clipboard then goes to Mac Mail, open up Preferences goes to Signature and paste it here or overwrite the current one)

Done, hope it helps you.

Days earlier a friend asked about this questions just after he got his new Mac machine. Once I did this when I started using Mac years ago, I wanted all my contact in Ms Outlook transferred to Mac mail. It really digs out memories pieces by pieces. Some mistake steps and experience to share today.

At first I export Ms Outlook “contact” to CSV (Comma Separated Value) file then import them into Mac mail as text file. All contacts were imported but later I found those email addresses were not at default address in “work” field. Which this also causes new issue if some contacts have more than one email addresses.

Second try out, I export them to CSV as well but this time I transferred (import) it to Yahoo mail. Later then export to Netscape “ldif” format. This is on of the format Mac mail can accept beside vCards or CSV text file.

Works!

Today, I learn new technic from a business partner, he did it using Thunderbird mail and this time more it can transferred including calendar and note too.

Thanks to this link, to share with you his steps. First install Thunderbird in to your PC then import from Outlook. Later copy the Thunderbird profile folder to Mac platform Thunderbird. Lastly import them in to Mac mail. 

But if you Thunderbird layout, just stick to it.
