I am quite confused with the functions of "to" and "cc" when emailing. They will say CC to them, but they will also receive the same content. So what's the purpose of "cc" if everything is the same?

The To and c.c. are standard memo entries.
So, To: means to whom you are sending the correspondence.
c.c. means Carbon Copy. So, yes, the other person/people you type under c.c. will receive the same information you are sending the email to.
b.c.c. means Blind Carbon Copy. this means whomever you type under this heading will recieve the same info that you are sending to the To and c.c. - However, they will not know you sent it them.

Just a formal way to send an e-mail. At one time if you were sending someone a letter and wanted them to know that you sent the same letter to someone else then you would put cc: at the bottom of your page. I email it lets you put it at the top instead. You can even get into bcc: (blind carbon copy) and send the same letter to someone without the to person finding out.

In a business environment, you might send a message "To" an employee to indicate that the task is meant for them, and put their supervisor in the "Cc" just to let them know the employee has been tasked. Also if someone is getting a reprimand you might send it "To" them, and "Cc" that person's boss and any affected employees who aren't directly involved but who would need to have the information anyway.

Not much different; you could put the "cc" address(es) in the "to", but the "to" address(es) let the person(s) know they are the person(s) know they are the target of the message and the cc address(es) know they may "listen in" on the conversation

also when you receive an email with people in the to and cc if you hit reply it sends it back to only the people in the To box, if you hit reply all then everyone will get your reply

The "To" line is where you type the e mail address of the person who is to receive the message. The "CC" line is for sending a copy to a person. This "CC" line is to be used if you don't want anyone to know that you're sending a copy to another person.

To: the person you are sending the message to.
C.C. A 'carbon copy' (a copy) is sent to whoever you choose it should go to.
B.C.C. (Blind Carbon Copy): goes only to the person you have sent it 'To', but with a copy to someone else whose address does not appear on the original message receiver.
