Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Nextcloud Mail currently supports only basic, manually maintained email signatures.
There is no support for reusable HTML templates with dynamic user data.

This makes it difficult to:

  • Enforce corporate identity standards
  • Maintain signatures efficiently for larger organizations

Describe the solution you'd like

Add support for HTML-based email signature templates with variable placeholders, managed by administrators:

  • Create or upload .html signature templates
  • Reusable templates across users and mailboxes
  • Dynamic placeholders that are automatically replaced, e.g.:
Kind regards  
{{displayName}}  
{{jobTitle}}  
{{organisation}}  
Email: {{email}}  
Phone: {{phone}}

Possible variables

  • Username
  • Display name
  • Email address
  • Organization / department
  • Phone number
  • Role or group

The variables should be resolved automatically at send time using user metadata.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • CI-compliant, professional email signatures
  • Central maintenance with personalized data
  • Scales well for organizations with many users

Additional context

  • Per-user signature preview
  • Multiple templates per mailbox
  • API support for automated deployment
