My company has a new name and I need to create a new signature. Now I have a problem: I have almost 200 email templates or drafts. The "old" signature is saved in these emails. I have created the new signature with the new name, but it doesn't seem to update automatically for emails in the templates or drafts folder.

Do you have an idea how I could solve this elegantly without having to edit all 200 mails manually? 

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a "search and replace" command.

Many thanks for your help

Try this: - export the templates to a non-thunderbird folder - download the freeware search/replace tool at http://findandreplace.io/ - do the search/replace process - import the templates back and TEST to ensure accuracy
