What is bcc on mail
BCC stands for "Blind Carbon Copy". It's a feature in email clients that allows you to send an email to multiple recipients without revealing their email addresses to each other.
When you add an email address to the BCC field, it's only visible to you, the sender, and not to the other recipients. This means that the recipients won't see each other's email addresses in the "To" or "CC" fields.
Here are some common use cases for BCC:
- Mass emails: BCC is useful when you need to send the same email to a large number of people, such as a newsletter or a promotional email. You can add all the email addresses to the BCC field without revealing them to each other.
- Confidential emails: If you need to send a confidential email to multiple people, BCC ensures that the recipients won't see each other's email addresses, maintaining the confidentiality of the email.
- Solicitations: BCC is often used by salespeople or marketers to send targeted emails to a large number of people without revealing their email addresses to each other.
However, it's worth noting that using BCC excessively or without permission can be considered spamming, and it's generally considered more ethical to use BCC sparingly and only when necessary.
In most email clients, you can usually find the BCC field by clicking on the "To" field and selecting "BCC" from the dropdown menu. Some email clients may have a separate "BCC" field or a "BCC" button that you can click to add recipients to the BCC list.
