Overview
BCC is used to discreetly send emails to multiple recipients by hiding their email addresses from one another. This prevents others from seeing who received the email and protects their privacy, which also reduces the chance of accidental "reply all" storms. Note that
Microsoft warns that use of Bcc can cause some junk-mail systems to treat a message suspiciously because Bcc is also commonly used by spammers.
Step by Step Guide

2. Place your own email address in the To: field.

4. Double-check that you have included an email address for each recipient that needs to receive the email.
5. Click the Send button.
If you do not see the BCC: Field, you can access it from the Options tab.
