Trying to copy Apple Mail Signature (Catalina) but can not find file?

[qsch1]

Hi, I am trying to transfer my apple mail signature from my macbook pro which has catalina installed, to another macbook pro which has Sierra installed. How best do I do that? I was given both,
/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~mail/Data/MailData/Signatures/ & (icloud)
/Library/Mail/V3/MailData/Signatures/ but can not find these either.

i lost my signatures recently for some reason, and got them back by replacing these 2 files on my macbook (from a backup):

home>library>mail>v7>maildata>signatures (a folder),

&

home>lbrary>containers>com.applemail>data>library>mail>v7>maildata>signatures

not very scientific, but i quit mail, replaced the current 2 files on my mac with those backed-up files, re-opened mail, and was back in business.

check the path in sierra carefully, there will likely be differences (ie perhaps "v5" or something).

proceed with care, of course...

Hi thank you! The first link showed the signature files as you had outlayed however the second link you sent only shows a shortcut to the files at the location of the first link?

i only got my signatures back by copying both files to their matching locations; the containers are not the same as the 'original' folders...
