CC Outgoing Messages to Myself

Quick Contents

Introduction

Since the release of version 4.30.147, MFM has received many requests from PC Access users to add a CC Outgoing Messages to Myself feature. VISTAinfo agreed to let MFM return the CC Outgoing Messages to Myself feature to future PC Access versions. MFM added a CC Outgoing Messages to Myself checkbox to the E-mail Setup window in PC Access version 4.30.154 and later.

If you are running PC Access versions 4.30.147 and 4.30.151, and you want to use the CC Outgoing Messages to Myself feature, you have the following two options:

1. Use the Update Wizard to download the Build 158 update. Build 158 includes the CC Outgoing Messages to Myself checkbox in the E-mail Setup window.
2. If you do not want to update to Build 158, you can manually set up PCAPLUS.EXE to CC Outgoing Message to your e-mail address. See: Enable CC Outgoing Messages to Myself for instructions.

     • When CC=1 and you enter more than one e-mail address in the E-mail To: field on the E-mail Message window, the recipients of your e-mail message will only see your e-mail address in the To: line in their e-mail program.
     • When CC=1 and you enter one e-mail address in the E-mail To: field on the E-mail Message window, the recipient of your e-mail message will see their e-mail address and your e-mail address in the To: line in their e-mail program.
