Cc and bcc difference in mail

In email, CC and BCC are two important fields that help you manage the recipients of your email. Here's the difference between them:

CC (Carbon Copy)

• When you add someone's email address to the CC field, it means you're sending a copy of the email to them, but you're also informing the original recipient(s) that you've sent a copy to this person.
• The CC field is usually used to keep others informed about the email, such as:
  • Colleagues who need to be aware of the conversation.
  • Managers or supervisors who need to be kept in the loop.
  • People who are interested in the topic but not necessarily the primary recipient.
• When you send an email with someone's email address in the CC field, their email address will be visible to the original recipient(s).

BCC (Blind Carbon Copy)

• When you add someone's email address to the BCC field, it means you're sending a copy of the email to them, but their email address will not be visible to the other recipients, including the original recipient(s).
• The BCC field is usually used to send emails to people who don't need to know that others are also receiving the email, such as:
  • People who are not part of the main conversation but need to receive the email.
  • People who you want to keep anonymous or confidential.
  • People who you don't want to know that others are also receiving the email.
• When you send an email with someone's email address in the BCC field, their email address will not be visible to anyone else, including the original recipient(s).

In summary:

• Use CC when you want to keep others informed about the email and want them to know that you've sent a copy to someone else.
• Use BCC when you want to send an email to someone without revealing their email address to others.

Remember to use BCC responsibly and only when necessary, as it can be considered a privacy violation if used to hide the recipient's identity without their consent.
