Part 1 — Get Signed In: Your New Email Account

1.1 Set Up Your New Email Account (First Sign-In)

Tip before you start: install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your phone first — you will need it during sign-in:

1Head to https://www.office.com. (Don't be surprised if the page calls itself Microsoft 365 Copilot and the address changes to m365.cloud.microsoft — Microsoft rebranded the portal. It is the same place, and the steps are the same.)

2Click on the sign in icon (avatar with a +) at the top-right corner.

3Enter your new email address from above and click on the blue Next button.

4Enter your temporary password (please see your personal doc for the password) and click on the blue Sign in button.

5Follow the prompts to set up Multi-Factor Authentication using the Microsoft Authenticator app you installed above.

6Once the Microsoft Authenticator has been set up, you will now create a new password for your Microsoft 365 account. Enter the temporary password (please see your personal doc for the password) as the current password and then create a new password.

7Once created, you can choose to stay signed in to the new account.

1.3 Loan Officers Only — Correspondent / Non-Del Loans

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING CORRESPONDENT/NON-DEL LOANS: PRIOR to originating a correspondent/non-delegated loan with C2C, it is required that you attend one of the training options below:


Part 2 — Install Your Apps

2.1 Microsoft 365 + Outlook on Windows (10/11)

1Head to https://www.office.com and sign in at the top-right (if not already signed in).

2CLICK HERE for the downloads page — or click Install apps near the upper-right of the portal home page, then Microsoft 365 apps.

3Once downloaded, run OfficeSetup.exe to complete the setup (click Yes if Windows asks for permission, and wait for the “You're all set!” message).

4Once Microsoft 365 has been installed, open Microsoft Outlook (Classic).

5Follow the prompts to add your new email account — Outlook finds everything automatically; you just sign in with your new email address and password.

6If already using Outlook, click File and Add Account and follow the prompts.

7Pin Microsoft Outlook to the Windows taskbar.

Good to know: Windows 11 PCs come with “Outlook (new)” preinstalled. Installing Microsoft 365 adds Outlook (classic) alongside it — that is the version most of our team uses day to day. See the next section to tell them apart.

2.2 Which Outlook Do I Have? (Classic vs. New)

  • Look at the top-right corner of the Outlook window: if you see a Settings gear icon, you are in new Outlook. If you see a classic File menu with the full ribbon, you are in Outlook (classic).
  • The Start menu lists them separately as Outlook (new) and Outlook (classic).
  • To switch from new Outlook back to classic: turn off the New Outlook toggle in the top-right corner (or use the Help tab → Go to classic Outlook).
  • To try new Outlook from classic: flip the Try the new Outlook toggle in the top-right corner.
Microsoft supports Outlook (classic) until at least 2029, and you can switch back and forth freely for now. Just remember: the two versions keep separate signatures — if you switch, set up your signature again in the version you use (see Part 4).

2.3 Microsoft 365 + Outlook on Mac

Option 1 — Microsoft 365 portal (installs the full Office suite):

1Head to https://www.office.com and sign in at the top-right (if not already signed in).

2CLICK HERE for the downloads page and click the install button (Install appsMicrosoft 365 apps).

3Once downloaded, run the .pkg installer file to complete the setup.

4Once Microsoft 365 has been installed, open Microsoft Outlook.

5Follow the prompts to add your new email account (type your work email, click Continue, and sign in with your password).

6If already using Outlook, go to Outlook menu → Settings…Accounts+Add an Account.

7Option-Click/Right-Click Microsoft Outlook in the dock at the bottom of the screen and select Options and Keep in Dock to keep the icon in the dock when closed.

Option 2 — Mac App Store (Outlook only, smaller download):

1Open the App Store on the Mac and search for Microsoft Outlook (by Microsoft Corporation — requires macOS 14 or later).

2Click Get, then Install.

3Open Outlook and sign in with your new work email address.

On today's Macs the Outlook menu says Settings… (older guides say “Preferences” — same thing). There is no longer a “Legacy Outlook” toggle; there is just one Outlook for Mac now.

2.4 Microsoft Teams on Windows & Mac

Windows 10/11:

1CLICK HERE to be taken to the Microsoft Teams download page and click on the Download Microsoft Teams button.

2Once downloaded, run the setup file from wherever it was downloaded on your computer and complete the setup process.

3Once installed, open Microsoft Teams.

4Complete the setup process by signing in with your new email account.

5Pin Microsoft Teams to the Windows taskbar.

Apple macOS:

1CLICK HERE to be taken to the Microsoft Teams download page and click on the Download Microsoft Teams button.

2Once downloaded, run the setup file and complete the setup process.

3Once installed, open Microsoft Teams and sign in with your new email account.

4Option-Click/Right-Click the Microsoft Teams icon on the dock and select Options and then Keep in Dock.

2.5 Install Outlook & Teams on Your Phone (iPhone / Android)

iPhone (Apple iOS):

1CLICK HERE for Microsoft Outlook in the Apple App Store (or search the App Store for “Microsoft Outlook” — requires iOS 18 or later, roughly iPhone XR/XS and newer).

2CLICK HERE for Microsoft Teams in the Apple App Store.

3Once installed, open each app and follow the prompts to sign in with your new email account (see Part 3).

Android:

1CLICK HERE for Microsoft Outlook in the Google Play Store (requires Android 10 or later).

2CLICK HERE for Microsoft Teams in the Google Play Store.

3Once installed, open each app and follow the prompts to sign in with your new email account (see Part 3).

Make sure you grab the right app: the app is named exactly Microsoft Outlook by Microsoft Corporation. Do not install “Outlook Lite” (Microsoft retired it in May 2026) and do not confuse the “Microsoft 365 Copilot” app with Outlook — they are different apps.


Part 3 — Set Up Your Work Email on Your Phone

You have two great options on a phone: the Outlook app (recommended by Microsoft, and what most of our team uses) or, on iPhone, the built-in Apple Mail app. Pick one — or set up both.

3.1 Outlook App on iPhone

If Outlook is brand new on your phone (no account yet):

1Open the Outlook app.

2Tap Add Account (do NOT tap “Create New Account” — your work account already exists).

3Enter your work email address and tap Add Account / Continue.

4The Microsoft sign-in page appears — enter your password.

5Approve the Multi-Factor Authentication prompt in Microsoft Authenticator if asked.

6If Outlook offers to add other accounts it found on your phone, tap Skip / Maybe Later unless you want them.

If you already use Outlook for another account:

1Tap your profile icon / initials in the top-left corner.

2Tap the Settings gear at the bottom-left of the panel.

3Tap Add Mail Account (or AccountAdd Account), then enter your work email and sign in as above.

3.2 Outlook App on Android

1Open the Outlook app.

2Tap Add Account (first run) — or, if you already use Outlook, open the Menu (profile icon, top-left), tap Settings (gear), then Add AccountAdd an email account.

3Enter your work email address, then sign in on the Microsoft page with your password.

4Approve the Multi-Factor Authentication prompt if asked.

3.3 iPhone Built-In Mail App (Apple Mail)

Use these steps to add your work email to the iPhone's standard Mail app. They match iOS 18 and iOS 26 (the current version).

1Open Settings.

2Tap Apps (scroll to the bottom of Settings), then tap Mail.

3Tap Mail Accounts, then tap Add Account.

4Tap Microsoft Exchange (this is the correct choice for our Microsoft 365 work email).

5Enter your work email address and a description like “Work”, then tap Next.

6Tap Sign In — NOT “Configure Manually”. (“Configure Manually” will always fail for our accounts.)

7The Microsoft sign-in page appears — enter your password, and approve the Microsoft Authenticator prompt if asked.

8If a permissions screen appears, tap Accept.

9Choose what to sync — our recommendation: Mail ON, Calendars ON, Contacts ON (so coworkers' and clients' names show on caller ID), Reminders and Notes OFF. Then tap Save.

Helpful to know:

  • Older iPhones (iOS 17): the path is Settings → Mail → Accounts → Add Account — everything from step 4 onward is the same.
  • Only a week of email showing? That is the “Mail Days to Sync” setting. Go to Settings → Apps → Mail → Mail Accounts → [your work account] → Mail Days to Sync and choose 1 Month (older mail is still on the server — search will find it).
  • Adding the account away from home or the office? iPhone's Stolen Device Protection may block account changes in unfamiliar locations. Easiest fix: add the account at home or at the office.
  • Inbox auto-sorting: newer iPhones sort mail into Primary / Transactions / Updates / Promotions. If client emails seem to “disappear”, tap the view button at the top of the inbox and switch to List View.


Part 4 — Your Email Signature

A polished signature on every email is part of the brand. This part gives you the official signature templates, then walks you through adding yours on every device — Windows, Mac, iPhone, and Android.

Why two templates? Each brand has a Desktop signature (the full graphic version for Outlook on your computer) and a Mobile signature (a simple text version). Phone apps cannot reliably display image signatures — the Outlook mobile app and iPhone Mail are text-only — so on your phone, use the Mobile version.

Filling in the placeholders — read this before you copy a template:

  • Replace First & Last Name, (000) 000-0000, and email@… / name@… with your own information.
  • Replace every 000000 with your personal NMLS number — including inside the “CLICK HERE to Apply Now” link, which should point to coast2coastmortgage.my1003app.com/YOUR-NMLS/register.
  • The “CLICK HERE to Order Credit” link is a placeholder. Replace it with your personal SmartPay link, found at the bottom of your CIC Credit Welcome email (see section 5.1). The completed example in 4.2 shows what this looks like. (If Applicable)
  • Link “Visit My Website” to your personal page (for example, www.coast2coastmortgage.com/first-last).
  • If you do not hold an individual NMLS number, simply delete the NMLS line.

4.3 Before You Begin

The walkthroughs below take you all the way from opening Outlook to seeing your brand-new signature show up perfectly in a test email. You will need two things to get started:

  • Your signature file — the master template document C2C Teams Signatures.docx provided with this guide (see Appendix B), or the email you received that contains your finished signature.
  • About 10 minutes of uninterrupted time — it really is quick, but Outlook likes to be paid attention to.
Heads up! Your finished signature may also have been sent to you in an email. If you would rather skip the Word document entirely, you can simply copy the signature straight from that email. Either path works — pick whichever feels easier for you.

4.4 Add Your Signature — Outlook Classic (Windows)

This is the version most folks here use day to day. (Using new Outlook? Jump to 4.5.)

Step 1: Open the Signature Editor in Outlook Classic

Let's get into the right spot first. This is the screen where Outlook stores all of your signatures.

1Open Outlook Classic on your desktop.

2Click File in the very top-left corner (just above the ribbon).

3Click Options at the bottom of the left-hand menu.

4In the window that pops up, click Mail on the left side.

5Scroll a little until you see the Signatures... button — click it.

Tip: If clicking Signatures... does nothing at all, close Outlook fully (check the system tray near the clock for a hidden Outlook icon) and reopen it. Outlook can get a little stubborn after long sessions.

Step 2: Create Your New Signature

Now we'll give your signature a name so Outlook can keep it organized.

1In the Signatures and Stationery window, click New.

2Type a name for the signature — something simple like Main Signature works perfectly. Click OK.

3You will see a blank editing box appear in the bottom half of the window. This is where your signature will live.

Step 3: Bring Your Signature In

You have two easy options here. Use whichever feels more comfortable.

Option A: From the Word Document

1Open the Word document with your signature (your brand's template from section 4.1, filled in with your information).

2Click anywhere inside the signature, then press Ctrl + A to select everything.

3Press Ctrl + C to copy.

4Go back to Outlook's signature editing box, click inside the blank area, and press Ctrl + V to paste.

5Your signature — photos, logos, links, the whole thing — should now appear in the box.

Option B: From the Email You Received

1Open the email containing your signature.

2Click anywhere inside the signature area, then press Ctrl + A to select everything in the body.

3Press Ctrl + C to copy.

4Go to Outlook's signature editing box, click inside the blank area, and press Ctrl + V to paste.

Important: Do not retype any of the text or rebuild the layout by hand. Copy and paste keeps the spacing, fonts, and image placement exactly the way they were designed.

Step 4: Save It and Make It Your Default

We want this signature to show up automatically on every new email and every reply — no extra clicks needed.

1Look at the top-right of the Signatures window for the Choose default signature section.

2In the E-mail account drop-down, make sure your work email address is selected.

3Under New messages, select the signature you just created (Main Signature).

4Under Replies/forwards, also select your new signature — this way it shows up every time, not just on brand-new emails.

5Click OK at the bottom to save.

6Click OK once more to close out of Outlook Options entirely.

Now jump to 4.9 — Test Your Signature. (Seriously — don't skip it!)

4.5 Add Your Signature — New Outlook (Windows) & Outlook on the Web

New Outlook and Outlook on the web (outlook.office.com) share the same cloud signature — set it up once and it appears in both.

1Click the Settings gear icon in the top-right corner, then choose AccountsSignatures.

2Click + New signature and give it a simple name like Main Signature.

3Paste your signature into the editing box (copy it from the Word template or from the email you received, exactly like Step 3 in section 4.4).

4If a paste prompt appears, choose Paste anyway to keep the formatting.

5Under Select default signatures, set your new signature for both For New Messages and For Replies/forwards.

6Click Save.

If your logo or photo vanished when you pasted: new Outlook's editor sometimes strips pasted images. Paste the text first, then click the Insert pictures inline button in the editor toolbar to add the image back. Also note: new Outlook's signature does NOT copy itself into Outlook (classic), Outlook for Mac, or the phone apps — each keeps its own.

4.6 Add Your Signature — Outlook for Mac

1In the menu bar, click OutlookSettings… (or press  ,).

2Under Email, click Signatures.

3Click the + button and give the signature a name.

4Paste your signature into the editor — best source: the email you received containing your finished signature (select it,  A then  C, and  V into the editor). Pasting from Word on a Mac can break the layout.

5If an image is missing, use the Pictures button in the editor toolbar to re-insert it, and  K to re-add any link.

6Click Save.

7In the Choose default signature section, select your account and set your signature for both New messages and Replies/forwards.

Pictures button grayed out? Update Outlook first (Help → Check for Updates, or the App Store if you installed it there) — an April 2026 version had a signature-image bug that is fixed in current updates.

4.7 Add Your Signature — Outlook App on iPhone & Android

Your phone signature is separate from your computer signature — it will not sync either direction, so set it here too. Use your brand's Mobile Email Signature text from section 4.1.

1Tap your profile icon / initials in the top-left, then the Settings gear.

2Under Mail, tap Signature.

3Delete the default “Get Outlook for iOS” / “Get Outlook for Android” text.

4Type (or paste) your brand's full Mobile signature exactly as shown in section 4.1 — including the website, Apply Now, and Order Credit lines if your role uses them.

5On iPhone, tap the back arrow / Done (it saves automatically). On Android, tap the checkmark at the top-right.

More than one account in the app? Switch on Per Account Signature and fill in the signature under your WORK account — editing the wrong account's signature is the #1 reason the “Get Outlook” line keeps coming back. And remember: the phone signature is text-only — logos and photos won't survive, which is exactly why each brand has a Mobile text version.

4.8 Add Your Signature — iPhone Built-In Mail App

1Open SettingsAppsMail.

2Tap Signature (below Composing).

3Replace “Sent from my iPhone” with your Mobile signature text from section 4.1.

4If you have personal email on the phone too, tap Per Account first so your work signature only goes on work email.

Apple Mail signatures are text-only — no logos or images. (On older iPhones running iOS 17, the path is Settings → Mail → Signature.)

4.9 Test Your Signature (Send It to Yourself!) — Very Important!

Here is the part nobody warns you about: even when your signature looks beautiful in Outlook's preview box, the images sometimes do not actually show up on the recipient's side the very first time you send. Annoying, we know — but the fix is delightfully simple.

1Click New Email at the top-left of Outlook.

2In the To field, type in your own email address.

3Your signature should appear automatically. If it does not, click the Signature button on the ribbon and choose your signature manually.

4In the subject line, type something like Signature Test.

5Click Send.

6Open the email when it arrives in your inbox. Check that every image, logo, and link is showing correctly.

Why this matters: Sending the signature to yourself forces Outlook to fully process and embed the images into your signature file. After this one round-trip, the images will stick reliably for future recipients. If anything looks broken in this test email, do not panic — head to the Troubleshooting section below.

One final real-world test:

Once the test email to yourself looks good, send one more to a friend or coworker. Ask them to confirm:

  • All photos and logos appear (not red X boxes or blank squares).
  • Phone numbers, email, and links are clickable.
  • Spacing looks clean and nothing is overlapping.

If they confirm everything looks good — congratulations, you are officially signature-ready!

4.10 Troubleshooting — Quick Fixes

If something looks off, ninety percent of the time one of these tips will solve it.

Images are showing as red X's or blank boxes

  • Reopen the Signatures editor, delete the signature entirely, and redo it — sometimes Outlook saves an incomplete copy and you just need a clean slate.
  • Make sure you copy from the original Word document or the email exactly as it was sent. Re-saving the Word file or converting it to PDF first can strip the images.
  • Send the test email to yourself again. The first send-to-self trick usually fixes lingering image issues.

Signature shows on new emails but not replies

  • Head back to the defaults step. Under Replies/forwards, make sure your signature is selected — not (none).

Signature looks squished or the fonts are wrong

  • This almost always means the signature was pasted with the wrong format. Delete it, then paste again using Ctrl + V (not the right-click “Paste as Plain Text” option — we want the formatting to come along).
  • If you accidentally used Paste as Plain Text, you will lose images and styling. Just start fresh and you will be back on track.

I don't see “Signatures...” when I click File > Options > Mail

  • Make sure you are in Outlook Classic, not the new Outlook. Check the top-right of Outlook — if you see a toggle that says New Outlook, slide it off to switch back to Classic (or use section 4.5's steps instead).
  • If you do not see the toggle at all, you are already on Classic.

I pasted the signature but the editing box is still empty

  • Click directly inside the signature editing box before pasting. Outlook will not paste into the wrong field, but it also won't warn you — it just quietly does nothing.
  • Try copying the signature again from the source, then paste once more.

My logo disappears when pasting into new Outlook or Outlook on the web

  • Paste the text, then use the Insert pictures inline toolbar button to add the logo back (see 4.5).

My signature vanished after switching between Classic and New Outlook

  • Nothing is lost — the two versions simply keep separate signature lists. Set the signature up again in the version you are using.

The “Get Outlook” line keeps coming back on my phone

  • You probably edited the signature on the wrong account. In the Outlook app, turn on Per Account Signature and edit the signature under your work account (see 4.7).


Part 5 — Account Setups

5.1 CIC Credit | Hard Pull & Soft Pull Accounts (Loan Officers)

1You will receive a “New User” email from CIC Credit containing a username (likely won't include “.spq” in the username). Keep note of this username.

2In your list of emails either directly before or after the “new user” email, you should see an email to set a password. Click the link to head to the password setup.

3Click the button at the top to generate the 4-digit setup PIN (will be received by text).

4Enter the PIN and then check the box to register the computer on the network and press the button to continue.

5Follow the instructions to set your new password.

6Once set, click the link to head to the login page and enter the username from the “New User” email along with your newly-created password.

7Fill out the entire form — verify your current address, phone number, email address (you can change to your work email if set up using personal), credit card billing address, and credit card information, and complete the agreement portion and continue to the account.

8Follow the same exact instructions as above to set up your soft pull account using the other “New User” email from CIC Credit — this time, the “spq” is likely at the end of the username.

5.2 C2C Payroll Systems & C2C Blaze Commission System (If Applicable)

NOTE: You may not receive these invites/setups until a few days to a few weeks from your hire date.

5.3 Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Accounts (Loan Officers)

Fannie and Freddie accounts are no longer generated automatically upon joining C2C. To make running AUS as easy as possible, ARIVE will automatically pull and apply our company credentials.

If you require accounts to be set up for another purpose, please send an email to support@coast2coastml.com with your request and we'll address it ASAP.

5.4 ARIVE (LOS)

Important: At the bottom of that response email, you'll see two links: “Yes, close my ticket” — if your question is fully answered — and “Not really” — if your question isn't resolved and needs human follow-up. Please be sure to click one of these two links so we know whether to close out your ticket or keep working on it.

Appendix A — 3rd-Party Processing Companies

If you plan to work with an outside (3rd-party) processing company, the processing company must be approved first. Have the owner/officer of the processing company complete the 3rd Party Processing Vendor Application (provided alongside this guide as a fillable PDF) and return it as instructed.

The application collects: company information (name, NMLS, DBA, addresses, phone/fax), owner/officer information, experience & logistics (licensed states, years of processing experience, monthly capacity, preferred lenders, referring loan officer, processor count), three mortgage-related business references, and a short legal questionnaire, followed by the owner's signature.

Questions about 3rd-party processing approval? Email support@coast2coastml.com.

Appendix B — Companion Files

  • C2C Teams Signatures.docx — the master signature template file (all brands, desktop + mobile versions). Copy your signature from here.
  • Template - Coast2Coast Mortgage.docx — official Coast2Coast letterhead template for Word documents.
  • 3rd Party Processing Company Onboarding (Fillable).pdf — vendor application for outside processing companies (fillable version).
  • 3rd Party Processing Company Onboarding.pdf — same application, print version.
