Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) describes the way in which messages can be sent to a person without others knowing they received a copy. Only the email address listed in the ‘To...’ and ‘CC...’ fields will be listed.

The ‘BCC’ field is not displayed by default.

If sending emails to a large number of people - For example “All Staff at the Square”. Use the BCC field to prevent a high volume of “reply to all”.

It is good practice to use this field if sending to a large mix of internal/external addresses. Not everyone may want the others receiving the message to see/have their email address.

If you can’t see the BCC button:

1. Click ‘New’ to create a new message.
2. Click to display the ‘Options’ ribbon.
3. Click the ‘BCC’ button.
   The BCC field will now be visible under the ‘To...’ and ‘CC...’ fields. (Click it again to hide the field)
4. Complete and send the message as normal.

Repeat these steps to hide the BCC field.
