BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. It is a feature in email that allows you to send a copy of an email to someone without the other recipients knowing.
You should use BCC when you want to protect the privacy of the recipients' email addresses, when you are sending a mass email and do not want everyone to see each other's email addresses, or when you want to send a copy of an email to someone without the other recipients knowing.

BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy.
When to use BCC:
BCC should be used when:
- You want to send a message to multiple recipients without them seeing each other's email addresses. This ensures privacy and prevents accidental replies to the entire group.
- You want to protect the privacy of certain recipients from spammers or data harvesters. By keeping their email addresses hidden, you reduce the risk of them being collected and used for unwanted purposes.
- You want to send sensitive information to a limited number of people without revealing their identities. BCC is especially useful when sending financial data, legal documents, or confidential communications.
How to use BCC:
When composing an email, look for the "BCC" field located in the email header. Type in the email addresses of the recipients you want to blind carbon copy into this field.
Note: Remember that BCC recipients will not see the names or email addresses of anyone else who received the message. Only the sender will have a record of all the recipients.
