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.

    That is only a partial solution - you can choose cc OR bcc, but cannot have both. What a sad joke. I would happily revert to the old Outlook, except that I heard you lose all emails sent/received since the date of your upgrade to the new Outlook - can anyone comment on this? I've gone too far to roll back if I'm going to lose recent history.

    Another request for CC to display by default.

    Same issue here. On Apple Mail I can have the CC display by default. That is good design and it should always be like that. Microsoft should also make sure that users don't have to do an extra click every time they want to add people in CC, which happens in my case several times a day.

    Thanks!

    Hi JustinSpire,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft community.

    Based on your description, I've tested on the new Outlook for Mac. Cc option appears indirectly at the right side to the To field in the default New Message window. It seems to be by design. However, by clicking the mini arrow icon to expand the window, you will have the Cc field appearing directly under the To field.

    Thanks,

    Qian
