About This Feature

Overview

Default Display for CC and BCC is a mail compose setting in WPS Mail on Windows. It lets you show the Cc and Bcc fields directly in new messages so you do not need to expand them each time.

Core tasks include:

  • Manually showing the Cc and Bcc fields in the compose window when you need to add recipients for a specific message.
  • Turning on Always show Cc and Always show Bcc in sending settings so new messages open with both fields visible.

This is useful for team notifications, privacy-sensitive mail, and repeated multi-recipient communication in WPS email on Windows.
