Bcc field addresses visible to recipients in Yosemite

After installing Yosemite when sending a message using the Bcc Field, recipients have reported back to me they see all the other addresses. Is this a bug?

Same iMac with Yosemite, everything is working fine on my side. Do you know from where are they seeing the BCC addesses (email client, account service, web browser)?

BCC field is visible to recipients

Is there any way a recipient can see who you have sent BCC to? This should not be possible, but a recent reply to one of my emails had the address in their CC that I had sent in the BCC. This may just be coincidence, but as their mail program also failed to reply to my address in the Reply to field, I wonder how reliable either of these fields are.

Using the Bcc: field is reliable for the most part but not foolproof.
The only 100% foolproof method to make sure multiple recipients for a particular message do not know who the recipients are is by sending the same message to one recipient at a time.

Mac client bc addresses visible to recipients

We're using the Mac client, v8.0.2HP4, and attempting to send messages where the bc field contains a group with internal and external addresses as well as nested groups of external addresses. The message is sent, but here are the problems we're seeing:
1. Internal recipients to whom the message is bc'd can click the "Properties" tab and see listed all the bc addressees.
2. External recipients to whom the message is bc'd see the entire collection of bc'd addressees in the to: field if their received message.
The same message and addressee setup works correctly when sent from the Windows GW 8.0.3 (build 108711) client.
Anyone seen anything like this?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to work around this.

I can't see the recipients/addresses in the bcc field in Mail sent messages

I'm looking to double-check the recipients in an email I sent, but it's not showing the bcc line in the sent message. I've never had this problem before... Have recently upgraded my Macbook Pro and updated Mavericks (10.9.2) and now using Mail 7.2. Any ideas how to get the bcc field to show??

Hi,
I've attached screenshots of the default settings below. The settings are in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Content'''
Alternatively you can try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode?s=safe+mode&r=0&as=s Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults''' and click '''Make Changes and Restart''', but this would reset all your settings in addition to those of fonts and colors.

Email address list populated drop down disappearing on the to / cc / bcc fields when composing emails

First the symptoms:
As far as I can see this effects only the v5.0 RIM OS. We have a multitude of users and the ones who are affected all shared the same trait: they had newer, v5.0 OS preinstalled on their BBerries. The ones with v4.7 never had the problem (might be a coinsidence, nothing solid here)
The user cannot see a drop down of email addresses prepopulated with the recently used ones, and with the option to "lookup" the email address. User starts typing the email address, and no drop down is shown while composing email.
If the user manually types in the email address into the To, Cc or BCc fields, the adress will not be permanent and the email will not be sent at all. The "send" menu item will not be visible when the track ball is pressed.
Quick remedy to send emails:
Hit the enter key after typing in the email address. Do NOT switch to the next row using the track ball, or pressing the trackball. Hit the enter key. Then you will be able to send the email.
Backing up the user files and wiping the handset and re-installing the OS seems to resolve the issue, alas, one user had the same problem again in a month after the operation. So that is NOT a permanent solution.
Funny fix: On the affected device, go to email options -> Options / General Options / "Show recent contacts when composing email" and just switch it to whatever is in there. If it is Yes, make it No, if it is No, make it yes. Then save. And the drop down should become visible again. Counter-intuitively, this setting was YES on on affected device, we switched it to No just for the sake of having made a change, saved the settings and the drop down became visible with the setting at "NO". When we switched it back to "YES" the drop down became invisible again

Once you have the Write window open, press F9 to open the Contact Sidebar. Select your contacts from there.

How to always show the BCC field in Apple Mail in Yosemite

I've been searching for this through various websites, but the instructions I've found correspond to older OS versions and I cannot find how to do this for Mail in Yosemite.
I would like to be able to see the BCC field in all Mail message windows. I've figured out how to bring up the BCC field while composing an email, but I can not see the field when I review my sent mail.

I can only speak to Yosemite 10.10.1 and Apple Mail 8.1 at the moment. You can simply press Command-Option-B while in Mail and it should toggle the setting. You can see the option in Mail by pulling down the "View" menu in the Menu Bar where you can simply tick beside "BCC Address Field."

TS3276 Clearing unwanted email addresses in the TO, CC or BCC fields

How do I reset the automatic address list that shows up when I start typing a name in the TO, CC or BCC fields? There are old addresses that show up in the list that I have previously deleted or updated from my Address Book

From within the Mail program, click "Window" then "Previous Recipients" from the resultant list select and delete the unwanted entries.

Mail issue: not sending (addressed to multiple recipients in BCC

Hi,
I am having trouble sending a message to multiple recipients in the BCC field. I am sending to myself in the To: box and many others in BCC. It is not sending the message, either through my Mail program, nor through iCloud mail. iCloud mail gives me "Cannot send message. This message cannot be sent at this time." messge, but no explanation why. (iCloud mail seems to be working normally according to on-line status report). My Mail program give me a, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.me.com:(username)
The server "smtp.me.com" did not recognize the following recipients: [followed by long list of recipients all separated by commas] though it doesn't list all the recipients in the field.
Could it be that I just have too many in the field?
HELP! I'm in a time-crunch on this one.
It did send a test e-mail to me, just fine. No other reipients listed.)

AAARGH! Nevermind! I found the answer! over the 100 recipients-at-a-time limit.

When I enter a group name into the Bcc field and try to send the message, I get "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address..."

Been using the same template to send a weekly newsletter for a year or two but now with a recent update to Thunderbird the group name is rejected when I try to send the message:
With a group name in Bcc field, when I press "Send" and try to send the message, I get this alert: "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
* Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

An incorrect email address I put in the BCC field has repeated itself infinitely and blocked outgoing messages. I can select but not delete the long list from the Warning. What can I do?

I put an incorrect email address in the BCC field of an email. A 'Warning' dropped down where the address was repeated until it fell off the bottom of the screen. No closure button at the top so I can't close it. I can select all the repeat addresses but can't delete them. I can't shut down or restart the computer because Mail can't close. Any ideas, please?

Aha! Pressed escape button and managed finally to close the Warning. Phew! I could then erase several hundred repeats of the mistaken address from the BCC field. Sorry to bother you all. Hellen.

Pre-Set email address in BCC field

I am considering posting all incoming (received) email messages to my account in Salesforce.com.
To do so, I must enter the Salesforce special return address every time I sent an outgoing message.
Rather than do this manually, is there a way to automatically enter this particular address so that it always appears in the BCC field every time I send a message?
Thanks....David

There is a group of apple scripts available known as "Mail Scripts 2.10" that has as one of the scripts a thing called "Filter Sent Messages (Mail)." From the webpage, it states that this script is "Another faceless scripts which will apply your rules to the messages in the "Sent" mailbox." I've not personally used it so I'm not familiar with it, but this may be of interest to you. If it works as advertised, then maybe you could develop a rule in Mail's preferences to apply to your sent mail folder (as opposed to just the inbox folder) to do what you need.

Why an email address not show in the Bcc field in Send Items folder?

Hi,
My user use Office 2007 and Exchange 2008. She sent an email which Bcced to 4 people for example A, B, C and D. However when she opens this email in her Send Items folder within Outlook, it only shows A, B and C in the Bcc field, but if she opens this email
in OWA, she can see 4 people in the Bcc field. It is the exact the same email. Outlook is in online mode (not cashed mode). I don't understand what could be the problem. Why D isn't shown in the Bcc field within Outlook?
Please advise!
Thanks in advance!
Grace

Hi,
Since it's a Client-only issue, we can try starting Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
I suppose the recipient D is not listed in the mail Filter lists?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/add-names-to-the-junk-e-mail-filter-lists-HA001230163.aspx
You can also test if this problem exists when you switch to Exchange Cached mode.

Mail BCC field not working?!?!

This is really weird behaviour...
When I send a mail to several recipients, all of them in the BCC field (no one in the TO or CC), it turns out all my receipients have access to the full receipient list!!!
I sent a, hmmm... well... "sensitive" mail the other day to 6 contacts, all in BCC field, and one of them "Replied to All" and everyone else (from my original BCC list) got his reply.
Is this right? I thought the function of the BCC field was, well, HIDE the distribuition list from all the receipients, but if hitting REPLY ALL reveals the list, there's not really much point in BCC, right?
Does this happen to everybody? Is this normal behaviour?
How do I deal with this?
TIA.

RAM,
This is normal behavior when using some (but not all) SMTPs. Without any address in the To field, the Outgoing Server (SMTP) makes this change, and NOT Mail. Put your own name in the To field if there is not another logical address to allow to be visible.

I have an issue with the address browser in mail in Yosemite

I am using IOS 10.10.1 now on an iMac and have discovered an issue with the address browser in mail.
Previously in my pending to send email toolbar there was a contacts icon which I clicked on to display my contacts list. I could hold down the Command button and select as many contacts I wanted (often up to 100), then select the field to send (to, ccc, bcc) and the contact would appear.
Now, I have to click the + sign at the end of the field line, and select recipients one at a time. Not only that, but I have to click twice to get to the email address, once on the name and then the email address drops down under the name and then I click on the email address. When I do that the drop down box disappears and the recipient's email address goes to the field. I have tried all combinations of buttons to be able to choose multiple addresses but haven't found the right one yet.
An Apple Support guy told me to open my regular Address book, and hold down the command button to choose multiple recipients then drag them to the field on my already opened send email.
This is one way around the issue (which wasn't an issue in Mavericks) but where some recipients have two or more email addresses listed in my contacts it means I have to manually go through the finished list on my emails to make sure the most desired one was selected. What a pain.
Also, previously, where I was sending out many emails and wanted to stop say half way down my list, and send, I could come back to that list for the next email and see where I'd got up to.
I don't want to make groups because my recipients vary depending on what I am sending so my lists change constantly.
Any suggestions?
Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
Cheers,

I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

How do I add a 'bcc' field in icloud email online?

I'm away from my stupid mac using a pc and online on icloud (in my mail) and need to send a group email using bcc but THERE'S NO BCC FIELD AND NO WAY TO ADD A BCC FIELD TO THE EMAIL! ***?!?!?! In another discussion someone wrote:
"If you dont see a "Bcc" line, click on the small button at the bottom left of the address area of your email, next to "Subject", and select "Bcc" to display it."
THERE IS NO SMALL BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE ADDRESS AREA OF MY EMAIL, NEXT TO "SUBJECT"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know if there's some way to get a bcc field added if you don't have this alleged 'small button'?????

You're welcome.
You're righ,t the gear icon is in the upper right. I went back and edited my original reply when I noticed the error.
The directions in your original post apple to the Mail desktop application.
People sometime don't make the distinction between desktop mail and web mail, which can cause confusion.
