If you always need to cc or bcc a copy of email when sending emails in Outlook, you need to manually bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) or cc (Carbon Copy) each time. There is no easy way for you to automatically cc or bcc email when sending an email in Outlook, but with Kutools for Outlook’s Auto CC / BCC utility, you can easily auto cc or bcc for all outgoing emails or customize rules to handle the cc or bcc emails in Outlook.
You can easily cc or bcc yourself or specific person a copy of email for all outgoing emails as follows:
1. Please apply the utility by clicking Kutools > CC / BCC > Rule Manager.
2. In the Auto CC / BCC Manager dialog box, click the New button to create a new cc / bcc rule.
3. In the first Rules Wizard, click the Next button directly without selecting any conditions. Then a Kutools for Outlook dialog box pops up to remind you the rule will be applied to all sending emails, click the Yes button.
4. In the second Rules Wizard, click the Next button without selecting any exceptions.
5. In the last Rules Wizard dialog box, you need to configure as follows.
5.1) In the Rule name box, type a name for the rule;
5.2) In the Rule notes box, enter a brief note to the rule;
5.3) Click the Recipient button to specify the CC or BCC recipients;
5.4) Click the OK button.
Note: In the Set ruleoptions section, if you check the Run this rule now for messages that are already in “Inbox” option, the created rule will be executed in the Inbox folder at once; By default, the Enable this rule option is checked, if you don't want to enable this rule right now, please uncheck it.
Note: After clicking the Recipients button, a Select Names dialog will pop up, please click to select one or multiple contacts, click CC or BCC button to add the selected contacts to the CC or BCC fields, and then click the OK button.
6. When it returns to the Auto CC / BCC Manager, you can see the rule you created just now is listed inside, click OK to save the rule. Tip: you can create multiple rules, and if you uncheck the rules, these unchecked rules will not take effect.
7. Now you need to enable the feature by clicking Kutools > CC / BCC > Enable Auto CC / BCC to make this rule effective.
