I need to have the CC option on new emails always visible without having to click the button every time. I would like to be able to press TAB after entering recipients and get to the CC field.
I'm on the new version (16.47 for Mac).

Thanks. I was hoping to not have to to any extra clicking to get to the CC field and just hit Tab. I found that I can change the settings to have all new messages appear in a separate window which accomplishes that for me. See photo here:
Thanks for your help.
Everyone! I got it to work by unchecking the "NEW OUTLOOK" button and going back to the legacy interface. Although I prefer the newer interface, it is at least solving the cc and bcc issue. I'll update the board once I see how the legacy UI/UX works vs the newer interface. Thanks.
Thank you for this tip. I wish they would simply allow them to show all the time. Has anyone tried to uncheck the "new outlook" button in the menu bar under OUTLOOK? I am going to test this and will also submit another feedback request to them. Likely will never change but worth a shot.
Yup, that's what I've been doing, too.
They're never gonna fix this. They obviously don't care about their customers -- and why should they? They know they have our business (because what choice do we have, really), so why spend any time trying to help... Sometimes I really hate M$.
Hi all. I, too, am insanely frustrated by the "improvements" to New Outlook that make my work HARDER to do. Get it together, Microsoft!
In the meantime, here's a *slight* workaround: In Preferences > Composing, select always Cc/Bcc me, then either delete your own email address each time (annoying, I know, but maybe easier than clicking the CC/BCC button?) or set up a rule to automatically delete any emails from your own email address so you don't email yourself every time. It's imperfect but at least you can tab and delete more quickly than clicking.
Hope it provides a bit of relief until they fix this stupid change.
