Can you create an Outlook rule for BCC?

You can create rules in Microsoft Outlook to automatically move your BCC emails to a folder other than your inbox. First, you will create a new rule or modify your existing rule. Optionally run this rule now on messages already in your inbox.

How do I use BCC rule?

Under When emails are sent from, you should see your email address already filled in. In the drop-down menu beneath that, select the to anyone option. In the then automatically drop-down list, select BCC (or CC if you prefer) and enter your email address. Click Save Rule.

Is there a way to see BCC recipients?

If you're the recipient of a message, you can't see whether the sender added Bcc recipients. Only the sender of a message can see the names of Bcc recipients by opening a message in the Sent Items folder where all sent messages are stored by default.

You can create a rule based on BCC you receive, but it's not immediately obvious as you have to resort to the message headers. The steps are:

  1. Send yourself a BCC mail.
  2. When it arrives, open it up and display the "Properties" or "Message Options" dialog. You get to "Properties" under the File tab of the ribbon. One way to get to message options is to click on the small icon to the right of the "Tags" label on the Message tab of the ribbon.
  3. Scroll down the Internet headers until you find something that identifies it as BCC. In my case it was X-MS-Exchange-Organization-Recipient-P2-Type: Bcc
  4. Create a rule and choose "with specific words in the message header".
  5. Copy in the value you found for step 3.
  6. Save your rule, send yourself another BCC, and enjoy.

Apply this rule after the message arrives  where my name in not in the To Box move it to [folderOfYourChoice] folder  except where my name is in the Cc box
