Auto BCC in Microsoft 365 Outlook

Hi,

 

My boss needs all my outgoing emails to have him BCC'd onto them.

If I don't have an automated BCC to all emails I compose, reply to and forward, I know there'll be message I forget to add him to.

 

Is there any way (Rule, Plugin, Add-on, something) that can allow me to do this in Outlook?

Thanks!!

    JJ_info Why he needs BCC? If he really needs to see those messages, you can share the SentItems folder with him, either through delegation, or folder sharing.

      hi,

      I have the same need even if slightly different.

      I want myself in bcc to receive have all mails and thus apply auto-rules.

      If I follow the "copy-all-message" flow,  rules are not applied.

      take care

    JJ_info  Hey, can you get an Exchange administrator to create a mail flow rule?


    Admin Centre > Mail Flow > Rules > Apply if sender is $you > Do the following > Bcc the message to $boss.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    This way, the rule applies no matter what you send the email from - Outlook desktop, web, mobile, etc.

      Ru 

      I was using a 3rd party add-in to auto BCC my work emails so that my CRM tool would receive a copy and automatically store and associate the email with the person(s) in the TO line. Due to un-fixable sync errors, I recently moved from Office 2007 to Office 365. But the 3rd party company does not offer their add-in on Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) running Office 365 (64 bit).

       

      Does MS also make this auto BCC feature available in a single user license or it is just with a server/client version? If not, could I buy an upgrade to my subscription to Office 365 that would include the ability to auto BCC?

       

      Thanks,

      Mike

      Ru do you happen to know if this takes a little time to start working? I attempted to do this with a few of our users and it doesn't appear to be working. Maybe I need to wait for things to sync with servers etc.? 

       

      Thanks!

        Exchange Transport Rules, aka ETR, can take between 30 mins to 2 hours to take effect.

        BCC to self can also be achieved through ETRs, as illustrated in above response by Ru
