Add BCC in Outlook

Add BCC in Outlook. Those unfamiliar with email features might need help understanding or using BCC. However, it is a handy feature to keep others in the loop without the primary recipients knowing about it. BCC is a short form for blind carbon copy.

One can add specific recipients to this field whose names will not appear to the primary recipients of a mail. For instance, one can mail a co-worker or team member, keeping the boss in BCC. It shows the supervisor the contents of the mail without the recipient’s knowledge.
