Default How do I set my email account to automatically blind copy me

When an email is sent out how do I have it automatically send a copy back to
me?


Google still works:

I know of this one (but haven't used myself):

Note that sending a Bcc to yourself by sending the e-mail through your
e-mail account and Bcc'ing to yourself at that same account does NOT prove
that your e-mail server actually sent your e-mail to the recipient(s). Most
e-mail server use redirection for internally routed e-mails. That is, their
e-mail server is not involved if an e-mail from one of their customers is
sent to another of their customers. You also won't see a Received header in
the received (Bcc) copy. You need to send the Bcc copy to yourself at a
different domain than for the e-mail server through which you are sending
your e-mails. So, for example, if you were using your ISP's e-mail service
to send your e-mails, you would Bcc yourself at Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, or
somewhere else to provide the proof that your ISP's e-mail server actually
sent at least one copy of your e-mail and provide some proof that your
e-mail actually got sent out. Obviously you can have your e-mail client
retrieve those Bcc copies from the other-domain accounts (and even use a
rule that moves e-mails sent by yourself from your ISP account and to
yourself at the other-domain to a folder for those Bcc copies).
