What does the Cc stand for? It's under the "To:" box where you enter the email address of the person you want to send your email to.

carbon copy. Back when typewriters were the only method of printing type secretarys used this if they were sending a letter to more than one person. At the bottom of the letter they would put
cc: John Doe (whoever)
They really had to use carbon paper (a black messy paper) put between two sheets of stationary to print a cc. Hence the name. Incidently, bcc stands for blind carbon copy meaning that the original email recipient will not see who else you send the message to if you put addressed in the bcc line.
Have a good day

Copies Concerning-----this is who you want a copy of the letter to go to in addition to the primary person you are sending the email to. Before computers CC was short for carbon copy. This meant that a carbon copy of the letter was going to the people listed after the CC.

Cc is a leftover from the time of typewriters, back then before xerox machines and the like to make copies you would put a carbon paper in between two pieces of paper and make a copy, so the cc stands for Carbon Copy and it was used to indicate to whom the copies were to be sent
cc Charles
so today we use cc instead of copy to

CC stands for carbon copy...basically you can send a "carbon copy" or exact replica of your email to another person...when in house memos are sent within a company, they use CC so the person sending it knows where to send it and also the person reading it knows who else has received it...that way they don't have to send it again...hope this helps

CC i sused to send a copy of the mail to anyone else.This will send the carbon copy of the mail to the address u mention in cc.The person recieving cc copy will able to see to whom the original copy has been sent.
There is another option od BCC.The person getting the mail through BCC will not be able to know to whom the original copy has been sent.Hence can say it BLIND CARBON COPY

Carbon copy. Mostly used when sending an e-mail to a number of people. Every one who receives the message will be able to see the e-mail addresses of everyone else.
Use BCC or blind carbon copy if you don't want to be handing out others e-mail addresses.

CC is carbon copy, you are copying them on the email even though it's not directly for them
BCC is blind carbon copy, the other recipients CAN'T see who you copied on the email
The only problem with BCC is that some knucklehead might not notice and reply to all, when no one was supposed to know he/she was on the email.

the to is the person that you are writeing the e-mail to. the one that it was intended for.
the Cc or Carbon Copy is for someone ealse that you want the letter to go to. say you are sending some info about e-mail to one frend but another frend has asked to get the same info you could put that other frend in the cc blank.
the Bcc or blind carbon copy is their for you to send the e-mail to someone without the otheres receving the e-mail knowing that they got it.
