10.4: Resolving Mail signature synching issues

Tiger only hintI was having a nasty time trying to get my Apple Mail signatures to synchronize on my .Mac account. The same Conflict Resolver message would come up over and over again, with the same message:

There is one conflict involving Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes. Select the correct com.apple.mail.SignaturesOwner information below
It didn't matter whether I chose the Mail or .Mac choice, the Conflict Resolver would come back momentarily with another selection.

As it turns out, the problem is that the conflict cannot be resolved while Apple Mail is running. It seems obvious now, but you'd think Apple could have put something into the program to shut down Apple Mail when a conflict arose. Very frustrating!
