[SOLVED] How to control where Outlook signature is created

How to control where Outlook signature is created

I use code similar to the following VSTO C# to create an Outlook Signature:

var signature = WordApplication.EmailOptions.EmailSignature
signature.EmailSignatureEntries.Add("Signature Name", range);

Seeing as I have multiple email accounts, the signature is created in "Signatures on this device" - not in any of the email accounts. Consequently, I can't manually set the "New messages" and "Replies/Forwards".

I don't want to programmatically set the "New messages" and "Replies/Forwards" values. Can someone explain what is going on and how I can resolve my issue?

-- Edit --

I don't require roaming signatures (at this stage) and am happy for them to be stored in the Outlook Client. The problem is that I think Microsoft may have broken this functionality.

I have been using the above code (for years now), to manage email signatures. However, things have changed in Outlook sometime in the last 6 to 12 months.

My colleague and I see different "Signatures and Stationery" dialogs. Even though we are both on Office 365 v2302 Build 16.0.16130.20186 64bit.

His dialog allows the "New Messages" signature to be set. Mine does not.

The main difference I can see between our computers is that I am on Windows 11 whereas he is on Windows 10. We both have multiple email accounts configured within Outlook. I have a "Signatures on this device" option. He does not.
