Hi Edkelleher1,

Greetings.

Thank you for raising your concern in this community.

I am a bit confused about why you are using auto BCC for yourself, because you can already have all you sent emails in the sent items folders, and when you open an email there, you have the same option as in the inbox.

We usually use BCC for another recipient.

That being said I have double checked this in outlook on mobile, and from what I see there is no direct way to do it on the mobile. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Regards,

Mac

    You are an idiot and I hope you do not work for Microsoft. If you do I hope they terminate you after your post. There are tons of users who want this feature restored. I believe a successful business gives customers what they want and don't make stupid excuses for not providing requested services. DO NOT REPLY. I do not want to ever hear from you again.

    Microsoft doesn't have to provide a feature just because a couple people can't manage their Sent Items folder.

    Having to needlessly copy an outgoing email in 2 places takes up space and server resources. Those are consideration for evaluating and denying needless features.

    Just because I MUST HAVE the ability for Word to write the next great English novel doesn't mean Microsoft is going to add that feature.

    Bonne chance!

    Your response isn't helpful at all and I would recommend rereading the thread to see why I and many others have this issue. That being said, I have found a half-workaround. One of the problems with not being able to bcc myself is that, if i want to find a sent email (since I can't find it in my inbox) is that the Sent folder is at the end of the scores of other folders in my inbox so i have to scroll all way to the end of the folders just to get to the Sent folder. Inconvenient at best. I addressed this by making the Sent folder a Favorite. It now appears at the top of the folder list and will make the process a little easier.

    Coz the email only appears in the "Sent" folder of the iPhone, i also want a copy of that on my PC so i use the "Auto BCC myself" on my PC.
