Auto-populate CC and BCC lines in Outlook

Create simple rules to add CC or BCC addresses to your email

Sending copies of your emails to the same people can be really time-consuming and tiring because you have to enter their addresses to the CC or BCC line in Outlook again and again. Besides, there's always a risk to forget to copy your boss or colleagues on a really important email. In Add-ins Collection for Outlook you will find a solution that automatically fills CC and BCC fields so that you don't have to type each person's email address time after time. Simply create a rule in a few clicks and forget about adding CC or BCC emails. Also, you can always BCC yourself, or the entire distribution list.

If necessary, it's possible to protect Auto BCC rules by password from changing, or even hide its icon from the ribbon in Outlook, so that the employees cannot see or change the rules set by you.
