How to Automatically Bcc: An Address On Every Email You Send in MailMate

By , About.com Guide

Want to archive all the emails you send at another address? Need to copy somebody on just about all the messages you send?

In MailMate, you can set up automatic Bcc: addresses for outgoing emails. For each messages, you can add other blind carbon copy recipients, of course, or remove the defaults.

Automatically Bcc: An Address On Every Email You Send in MailMate

To send a blind carbon copy of every email from MailMate to a certain email address automatically:

  • Quit MailMate.
  • Launch Terminal.
  • Type "defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultBccHeader -string " (not including the quotation marks) followed by the email address to which you want the automatic Bcc copies to go.
    • If you want to Bcc: bcc@example.com, for instance, make sure the line reads
      'defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultBccHeader -string bcc@example.com' (not including the quotation marks).
    • Note that the new address will replace any existing automatic Bcc: headers in MailMate.
    • To add more than one automatic Bcc address, separate them by comma and surround them with quotation marks. To add both bcc@example.com and copy@exampl.com, e.g., make the line read
      'defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmDefaultBccHeader -string "bcc@example.com,copy@example.com"' (not including, this time, the outer, single quotation marks).
  • Press Enter.
  • Quit Terminal.

The addresses will automatically appear in the Bcc: field as you start composing new messages in MailMate. You can remove them, of course, or add further addresses to the list for individual messages.
