I am surprised that this forum has persisted for so long. I also want the auto bcc feature in Gmail. My business is small and I have a Outlook email address but it has personal emails.
I wish to allow 2 employees to receive and send emails when I am away but I want to avoid an email being sent and then permanently deleted from Gmail. While they could still do this with a temporary change of settings, they do not have the skills to do so. It is more likely they will forget to do the manual bcc. They are trustworthy, so I will instruct them to use a manual bbc, but an auto bcc would have been useful. I will look at Google Apps business (Gmail being intended for personal use), but this just seems like an added hassle for a small personal business.
