Can i bcc someone after i've sent the mail
The age-old question!
Unfortunately, it's not possible to add a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) recipient to an email after you've already sent it. Once you've hit the "Send" button, the email is sent to the recipients you specified, and you can't modify the recipient list.
However, there are a few workarounds you can use to achieve a similar effect:
- Use a CC instead of BCC: If you want to send an email to someone and keep their address private, you can use the CC (Carbon Copy) field instead of BCC. This will add the recipient's address to the email, but they'll still receive a copy of the email.
- Use a third-party email client or plugin: Some email clients, such as Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, offer plugins or extensions that allow you to add BCC recipients after sending an email. These plugins typically work by creating a new email with the BCC recipient and then forwarding the original email to them.
- Use a email forwarding service: Services like BCC Email or Blind Carbon Copy allow you to send an email to a BCC recipient after the fact. These services work by creating a new email with the BCC recipient and then forwarding the original email to them.
- Use a workaround in your email client: Some email clients, such as Gmail, allow you to use a workaround to add a BCC recipient after sending an email. For example, you can create a new email with the BCC recipient and then forward the original email to them.
Keep in mind that these workarounds may not be foolproof, and there's always a risk that the recipient may be able to see the original email address or other identifying information.
