When you use Default Display for CC and BCC, 3 common question types come up most often: field differences, adding multiple recipients, and why default display may not appear in the current draft.
FAQ
What is the difference between Cc and Bcc?
- Cc is used to keep related people informed about the email.
- Recipients in Cc can usually see other public recipients.
- Bcc is used to hide some recipient addresses from other recipients.
How do I add multiple Cc or Bcc recipients?
- Show the Cc field or Bcc field in the compose window first.
- Enter multiple email addresses directly.
- You can also click + to add multiple contacts from the address book to the related field.
Why did I enable default display, but the current email still does not show Cc and Bcc?
- Confirm that you selected and saved Always show Cc and Always show Bcc in Sending Settings.
- Close the current draft window and create a new email.
- If the fields still do not appear, open the settings page again and check whether the options remain selected.
