Bcc in mail and cc in mail

In email, BCC and CC are two important fields that help you manage your email recipients. Here's what they mean:

BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)

When you add someone's email address to the BCC field, their email address is not visible to the other recipients of the email. In other words, they will receive a copy of the email, but their email address will not be visible to the other recipients. This is useful when you want to send an email to multiple people, but you don't want them to know who else is receiving the email.

For example, let's say you're sending an email to a group of colleagues about a project update. You can add their email addresses to the BCC field, and they will receive the email, but their email addresses will not be visible to each other.

CC (Carbon Copy)

When you add someone's email address to the CC field, their email address is visible to all the other recipients of the email. This is useful when you want to keep someone informed about an email conversation, but you don't necessarily need their input or response.

For example, let's say you're sending an email to a colleague about a project update, and you also want to keep your manager informed about the progress. You can add your manager's email address to the CC field, and they will receive a copy of the email. Your colleague will also receive a copy of the email, and they will see your manager's email address in the CC field.
