Is it possible to add a BCC recipient permanently to a configured mail account?
Use Case: Sending a mail to a To:-recipient will also send to the BCC:-recipient without entering the BCC address explicitly.
If not possible via UI. Any configuration file editable to accomplishing this goal?
Keywords: mail blind copy workflow

I am surprised that this is not possible in this os. I send mails from my phone sometime and need this to reflect in my other devices and if i dont use gmail, yahoo etc. there is no way i will be able to access the mail i sent except on the phone!!!. This indeed is a very limiting feature which every email client i have used so far has. Team please find a solution and resolve, i am actually afraid to use mail on the phone now purely due to this limitation
I fail to see the problem. Simply use IMAP, and your mails, including sent mails, are synchronized, as it should. Sent mails are put in the, you've guessed it, Sent folder. Every other not-stupid device supports IMAP, just like any not-stupid email provider, as it is a fully open standard.

Interesting but... EVERY email? Hard as I try, I just cannot think of a good use case for that. In fact so rare must be such a request that I would be very surprised if such a thing were possible even through config files.
pichlo ( 2016-01-24 23:36:08 +0200 )editEvery mail is sent to myself. so i can have the complete correspondence in the inbox and verify that the mail is passing the local gateway. Any client that i use (osx's mail.app, thunderbird, evolution) has the ability to make such a configuration ...
Leon ( 2016-01-25 00:10:44 +0200 )editWhy don't you just check your sent mail folder? And if your email service provider or whatever is so terrible that losing emails is something you actually need to worry about, maybe it's time to pick a different one.
nthn ( 2016-01-25 01:26:21 +0200 )editI do not worry about anything. Its a about a workflow and a common option in other client applications.
Leon ( 2016-01-25 03:43:00 +0200 )edit@Leon, I stand corrected. I use Thunderbird on my home laptop but I fire it up so rarely that I have nearly forgotten what it looks like. This is not a feature I can imagine myself ever using so I would not know it was there if you did not tell me. To each his own, I suppose.
