How to add BCC to my options in my email

Question

I do not have the option in my email to add BCC to my send options. How do i get that option installed

Answer 1

To add BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) to your email options, you typically need to enable it in your email client settings. Here are some general steps you can follow depending on the email service you are using:

1. Outlook: In Outlook, you can show the BCC field by going to the "Options" tab while composing a new email and clicking on "Bcc". This will display the BCC field in your email compose window.
2. Webmail Services: For web-based email services like Gmail, you can click on "Compose" to start a new email, then look for a "Bcc" link near the "To" field to enable it.

If you do not see the BCC option, make sure your email client is updated, as some older versions might not support this feature. Additionally, check if there are any settings in your email account that might need to be adjusted to enable BCC functionality.

If you are using a specific email application or service, please provide its name for more tailored instructions.
