BCC in Office 365

BCC means Blind Carbon Copy and is an email field to which you can add several recipients. The addresses remain hidden from everyone, unlike the addresses placed in the To: or CC: (Carbon Copy) fields, which are visible to anyone who reads the message. By using BCC, no one's email address will be compromised.

By default, the BCC field is hidden in Microsoft Outlook and you cannot see it when writing a new message or replying to someone's email. If you want to send a blind copy email, first you need to make the BCC box appear. Below you will find the instructions on how to display the BCC field in all versions of Outlook.
