The Bottom Line

Guide Review - Auto BCC/CC for Microsoft Outlook 2.0 - Outlook Add-On

Do you add an email address to the Bcc: field of all outgoing messages in Outlook? Or at least wish you did?

Auto BCC/CC for Outlook takes care of that, and in a smart manner. Using rules, you can specify email addresses you want to add to either the Cc: or the Bcc: field of outgoing messages when certain criteria are met: mail from a particular account, with certain recipients, subjects or attachments.

The filter construction dialog is itsself constructed in a bit confusing a manner (you can rules that look only for words in the "Subject" line, regardless of the account, for example), and Auto BCC/CC for Outlook's rules could be more flexible for even more precision, but all in all they do a great job copying exactly the right messages to exactly the right people — automatically.

With multiple, maybe overlapping rules, and to let senders know what will happen, it would be nice for Auto BCC/CC for Outlook to show somewhere in the message composition window what email addresses are going to be added.
