How to set up auto CC & BCC in Gmail and Outlook

During email composition, CC (Carbon Copy) and  BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) are the two commonly used fields which are used by most of us to send the copies of an email to additional people who are concerned with the information in addition to the main recipients. Irrespective of which email provider you use whether Gmail or Outlook, you will see the CC and BCC fields along with To fields when you compose a new email.

According to the email etiquette, the To field is used to enter the email address of the main recipients. While CC is used to enter the email address of the additional people who are interested in the information or when you simply want to keep them in the loop.  While CC is used when you want the main recipients to know that other people have also been sent the same message, BCC is used when you don’t want the main recipients to know who has received the same copy of the email.

Many a time, you may want to CC and BCC yourself or your colleagues in an email so that you are in the loop of important conversations. To make your task easier, Outlook and Gmail enable you to automatically CC and BCC any email address on every email you send. While these can be messy, in some situations, you may need to have a copy of all the ongoing series of email conversations.

You can set a simple rule in Gmail and Outlook that will automatically CC and BCC certain email address to all the emails you compose. In this article, we explain in detail on how to auto CC and BCC a specific email address in Outlook and Gmail.

4. When you reply to a message, Exchange Online will determine whether or not you have rights from your organization to do so.

If you have permission, Office 365 protects the message back to the sender. If you don’t, or the message was sent as “View only” by the sender, you’ll receive a Non-Delivery Report.
