What are Cc and Bcc when sending email?

CC stands for “carbon copy”. If you want to send exactly the same email to more than one person you can use the CC field. The email will be send to the email address in the “To:” field and the email address(es) in the CC field. If you want to enter more than one emails in the CC field use commas to separate them.

When sending the same emails using the “To:” and “CC” fields every recipient can see the email addresses that the message has been sent to.

When using the “BCC:” field again the email is sent to all the email addresses in that field and the email in the “To:” field but only the latter is visible to everybody. BCC stands for “blind carbon copy”.
