This article shows you how to Add BCC in Outlook Emails. If your job has anything to do with email contact, your coworkers may often ask you, “Would you mind sending me a BCC copy?” Or, a less polite message from your boss: “Make sure to copy me on every email you send to this client.” But what does BCC mean, and what’s the difference between CC and BCC?
Has a friend asked you to blind carbon copy (BCC) them into an email, but you don’t know what they mean? Don’t worry, you’re in the right place. With the blind carbon copy (BCC) field, you can send a copy of an email to someone else without letting the main receivers see their email addresses. Here’s how to add a BCC in Outlook for Windows, the web, Mac, Android, iPhone, and iPad.
