To: box, type the e-mail address of the person to whom you wish to send the e-mail. If the same e-mail should be sent to more than one person, type all the e-mail addresses in the To: box and separate them with commas.
Cc: stands for "carbon copy." Anyone listed in the Cc: field of a message receives a copy of that message when you send it. All other recipients of that message can see that the person you designated as a Cc: recipient has received a copy of the message.
Bcc: stands for "blind carbon copy." This is similar to the Cc: feature, except that Bcc: recipients are invisible to all the other recipients of the message (including other Bcc: recipients). For example, if you send a message To: johndoe@aol.com and Bcc: janedoe@aol.com, then johndoe sees himself as the message's only recipient. Janedoe, on the other hand can see that you sent the message To: johndoe, and that you blind-copied her.
