BCC is the same as CC, except that the BCC field isn't public. An email sent to you via BCC will look as if it was sent normally and magically ended up in your inbox. This is handy for mailing lists, as you could send an email to yourself or nobody and have all of the recipients in the BCC field, protecting their privacy.

∙ 10y agoCC stands for Carbon Copy, while BCC stands for Blind Carbon copy.
For example, if you do this:
To: Sam
CC:Dave
BCC:Bob,
This will mean that neither Sam nor Dave will find out that you have sent this email to Bob, therefore the word 'Blind'.
You can use this to your advantage in many ways, however there may not be a situation where this may be necessary, therefore you can merely use 'CC'.

∙ 8y agoAn email can have 3 recipient specifications: the intended recipient (TO address), those who should also receive copies (CC), and those who should receive copies of the email without any other recipient became aware of it (BCC).
Depending on the program used to send the email, the To, CC, and Bcc entries can each have a list of recipients. ALL email recipients will include a copy of the TO and CC list so they will all know who else is getting the email but not if the recipient is in the BCC list as no email recipient will know of the recipients listed in the BCC list.
You would use Bcc to privately inform a third party of a correspondence sent to someone.
You would use Bcc if you didn't want any of the email recipients to know who else received a copy of the email. An example of an appropriate use of BCC is an email sent by a company to a confidential list of customers. Using Bcc, each customer receives the message and has no knowledge of any other recipient. With CC, every recipient would know of each of the other recipients.
The origin of this is in manually typed letters, before printers and computers. It was possible to create more than one copy of a document by placing several sheets separated by carbon paper into a typewriter. The top sheet looked clean. Subsequent sheets were easily recognized as carbon copies (CC). Customarily, the end of the letter would have a list of the CC recipients but not the Bcc (for Blind Carbon Copy) recipients.

BCC is Blind Carbon Copy. The recipients of the mail can't see anyone listed on the BCC line.

What is the TO BCC CC means when sending an email?
CC refers to carbon copies - from the days when letters were typed out using manual typewriters and copies were made, while typing, using carbon papers. So CC refers to people, other than the main addressees, who will also get a copy. BCC refers to "Blind CC". These are people who will receive copies but their names will not appear in the list of recipients so nobody else will know that they have been copied in.
What is cc and bcc on email?
CC is carbon copy which is the exact same thing as the original email and BCC is blind carbon copy which means they cannot see the people it was sent to.
Advantages of using Bcc over carbon copy?
When sending emails a blind carbon copy (BCC) is an email copy that is forwarded on to someone without leaving any visible traces of that recipient for the normal recipients to see. A carbon copy (CC) will however, show up for the normal recipients. Basically the BCC line showing email addresses that one is forwarding a message to is stripped out of all the outgoing messages.

What does Bcc and cc mean?

What does Bc stand for in an email?
I believe you mean BCC, it stands for Blind Carbon Copy. When the recipients are in the BCC field, they can't see the other recipients.Addendum:The above is pretty close to being correct. CC (and the CC of BCC) actually stands for the plural "copies," just as the doubled letter "pp" in a source reference stands for "pages." Also, it is the BCC recipients whose names are not seen by anyone else; the CC recipients can be seen.
What does CC means in am email?
Carbon Copy BCC = Blind Carbon Copy
What do you mean by Bcc and ccc in email?
CC is short for carbon copy. BCC is short for blind carbon copy.The reason BCC is called a "blind" carbon copy is that, as opposed to CC, BCC recipients of an email are not indicated to anyone, including other BCC recipients.Therefore, if you send an email to person A, with person B and C in CC and person D and E in BCC, person B will see that the email was sent to person A, B, and C, but will not see D or E's names.Likewise, neither person D nor E sees each other's names on the recipient list.The manual that I read said that BCC is good for "secret guests" of a party.
