Outlook roaming signatures vs Black Pearl Mail

What is Outlook roaming signatures? 

Outlook roaming signatures allows you to create a signature in outlook and it can be stored in your outlook system (in the cloud) as opposed to on your specific desktop device. This means when you create a signature, it can be shared across different desktop devices to be used when emailing. This partially solves the problem of Outlook for Windows users having to recreate their signatures across multiple devices. 

This feature only applies to signatures on Outlook for Windows on desktop devices. It does not apply to mobile devices, Mac, or Outlook Web App (OWA). Outlook roaming signatures will also not sync signatures with software outside of outlook e.g. non-windows devices or CRM systems.
Release date: late October 2022
