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

    I thought Microsoft Office applications were supposed to be about user efficiency and productivity regardless of the platform. 🤔🤷‍♂️

    Is this an actual reply from a MSFT rep? Come on. I too used this feature on the Apple Mail app and would consider going back to it to save time on having to bcc or cc myself.

    Why have it as a rule option on the desktop but not an available option on the app.

    I’m also quite surprised that MSFT did not look into gathering user feedback or question why Apple Mail had this option.

    Don’t ask why people would want it, just know that people want it and make it happen.

    Idea: how about starting writing this on all Microsoft comment on social media?

    "Dear @microsoft, can you please make sure your Outlook App has the “Always Bcc myself” option like the desktop one? It will save a lot of time to a lot of people #microsoft #outlook #has #not #always #Bcc #myself #option"

    Or tailor it to the post of the day, like this: on the scarecrow post:

    "Hey @microsoft do you know what would make Outlook App attracting more attention? Adding the “always Bcc myself” option to the Outlook App? Thanks #microsoft #outlook #has #not #always #Bcc #myself #option"

    Already started adding my comments to Microsoft´s instagram account.

    Cheers
