How to reply all including myself in Outlook?

Author Kelly Last modified 2025-04-09

If I want to reply to all recipients including myself in Outlook, I can manually add my email address into the To/Cc/Bcc fields. But it will be tedious to type the email address every time when replying all. Fortunately, I get two easy workarounds with Kutools for Outlook.

Automatically add my email address into To filed when replying all

Automatically add my email addresses into Cc/Bcc fields when replying all

Automatically add my email address into To field when replying all

The first workaround will introduce Kutools for Outlook’s "Include myself when reply all" option to automatically add my email address into the "To" field when replying All in Outlook.

The other workaround will introduce Kutools for Outlook’s "CC/BCC" feature to automatically add your email addresses into the "Cc" or "Bcc" fields when replying to emails to all recipients in Outlook.

Remove myself from To / Cc / Bcc when replying all in Outlook

In some cases, you may need to remove your own email addresses from the To/Cc/Bcc recipients when replying the selected email to all recipients in Outlook. Here you can try Kutools for Outlook's (Remove) My Names feature to stop Outlook from replying to yourself when Reply, Reply All, and Forward, etc.
