Use it when you're sending an email to more then one person and you don't want the other people too see everyone else that you're sending it too. E.g.
To: Bob
CC (carbon copy):Joy
BCC: Fred
BCC: Kim
Bob can see that the email was sent to Joy, but no one else.
Joy can see that the email was sent to Bob, but no one else.
Fred can see that the email was sent to Bob and Joy but doesn't know that it was sent to Kim.
Kim can see that the email was sent to Bob and Joy but doesn't know that it was sent to Fred. BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy. Any email address that you put in this section will be invisible to anyone else who receives the email. BCC is very helpful if you want to send an email to a large list of people and you don't want them all to see who else is receiving the email. Another use: I want friend A to see what I am sending to friend B but I don't want friend B to know that friend A can see the message. Therefore I would put friend B in the "To:" section and friend A in the "BCC:"section.

∙ 14y agocc = carbon copy, this would be used if you would like to send a copy of your e mail to someone other than the main recipient/s, all recipients would see that you had sent a cc and who you sent it to. bcc = blind carbon copy, as above except that nobody would know that you sent a bcc except the recipient of the bcc.

∙ 12y agoThe long version of "Bcc" is "blind carbon copy". If this gives you the image of an empty sheet of paper - a carbon copy without text -, that's not quite what email's Bcc: is up to.
The Bcc: field helps you deal with the problems created by Cc:. As it is the case with Cc:, a copy of the message goes to every single email address appearing in the Bcc: field.
The difference is that neither the Bcc: field itself nor the email addresses in it appear in any of the copies (and not in the message sent to the person in the To: field either).
The only recipient address that will be visible to all recipients is the one in the To: field. So, to keep maximum anonymity you can put your own address in the To: field and use Bcc: exclusively to address your message.

∙ 12y agoIt depends on how private the email is. If you enter an email address(es) in the 'cc' field - everyone who receives the email can see the email address of each other person it was sent to. If you enter the address(es) into the 'bcc' field, each recipient only sees their own contact details. The details of the other recipients remains private.
