BCC invisible in the sent folder
 
#1
0  
Hello,

When I send a mail and I BCC somebody, I cannot see anymore the recipient name and mail on the BCC field when I go to the "sent mail" folder. The BCC field is simply missing even if it is selected on the options.

In other words, on the "sent mail" folder for each mail I sent I can only see the sender, the recipient, the CC and the subject of the mail.

I tried to edit the headers or to modify the editor layout but nothing changes... The BCC field is active and selected but the BCC field doesn't appear after the mail is sent.

I have The Bat 4.1.11 with XP but I noticed this problem even on all previous 4.X versions. On the other side, BCC field always appeared on the "sent mail" folder with 3.X versions.

Thanks for help

Can't confirm, BCC shows just fine in my 'sent mail'.

BCC shows fine when you write the mail or after the mail has been sent and you go to the "sent mail" folder to check it?

I can see BCC when I write the mail but I cannot see it anymore after the mail has been sent and I go to the "sent mail" folder.

Do you have an idea what I can change to solve this problem?

And the strange thing is that I cannot see the BCC recipient(s) event if I activate the RFC-822 headers of the mail I just sent.

To summarize:

- I can see BCC field when I write a mail

- I cannot see BCC field on the "sent mail" folder once the mail has been sent

- I cannot see BCC field on the RFC-822 headers once the mail has been sent

I can see the RFC-822 header too.

What kind of account are you using? IMAP maybe?

You are right! I have this problem only with IMAP accouts and not with POP3 accounts.

Any idea how to solve it?

I think that's as it should be, maybe you could solve it with a local sent mail folder.
When you send a bcc, the bcc header isn't included in the message, if it was, all recipients could read the bcc addresses, kind of defeats the bcc purpose.
Therefore messages sent to your server have the intended recipients (including the the to: and cc: recipients) in a thing called 'smtp envelope', that smtp envelope isn't included in the message as it's stored to the user account (as it isn't really part of the message) therefore your imap account is missing the bcc header and TB can't display what isn't there.

Ok thanks but how I create a local sent mail folder?

I'm not sure about that. Some IMAP servers force you to work with a local sent mail folder, other don't allow you to.

However, you could create a common folder (those cannot be anything else than local) and create an outgoing filter for your IMAP account that copies all outgoing messages to your new common folder.
Don't know whether this orks as you intend as I'm not really into IMAP.
