Hey there! Today, I want to share with you how to add Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) in Outlook. Bcc is a handy feature that allows you to send an email to someone without the other recipients knowing. It’s great for maintaining privacy and ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential.
First, let me show you how to add the Bcc field in Outlook. By default, the Bcc field is hidden in the message header, but you can easily make it visible.
Step 1: Compose a New Email
To start, open Microsoft Outlook and click on the ‘New Email’ button to compose a new message.
Step 2: Enable the Bcc Field
Next, go to the ‘Options’ tab in the message toolbar. In the ‘Show Fields’ section, you’ll find the ‘Bcc’ button. Click on it to enable the Bcc field.
Now that you have the Bcc field enabled, you can add recipients to it just like you would for the ‘To’ or ‘Cc’ fields. Here’s how:
Step 3: Add Recipients to the Bcc Field
In the ‘Bcc’ field, type in the email addresses of the recipients you want to send the email to without others knowing. You can separate multiple email addresses with a comma.
It’s important to note that when you add recipients to the Bcc field, they won’t be able to see who else received the email. Only the sender will have visibility of all recipients. This is a great way to protect the privacy of your contacts and prevent the misuse of their email addresses.
Step 4: Compose and Send the Email
Once you have added all the recipients, you can compose your email just like you normally would. Add a subject, write your message, attach files if needed, and format the email as desired.
When you’re ready, click on the ‘Send’ button to send the email.
That’s it! You have successfully added Bcc in Outlook and sent an email with recipients kept confidential.
Adding a personal touch, I find the Bcc feature particularly useful when sending mass emails or when I want to keep the identities of certain recipients private. It helps maintain professionalism and ensures that everyone’s privacy is respected.
In conclusion, knowing how to add Bcc in Outlook can be a valuable skill in maintaining privacy and confidentiality when sending emails. By following these steps, you can easily add recipients to the Bcc field and ensure that their email addresses remain hidden from others. Give it a try in your next email and experience the benefits of this handy feature!
