There are times when you want to send out an email to multiple recipients to keep them in the loop about a certain project or event without needing a direct response from them.
That's when you would want to CC them instead of writing an email to them. CCing someone on an email allows you to copy that person while indicating that they're not the primary recipient.
1. Go to gmail.com in a browser on your Mac or PC and log into your account.
2. Hit "Compose" to begin a new email, or click on the email thread that you want to reply to and select "Reply" to write a response.
3. If you're typing a new message, the "CC" option will appear to the right of the "To" field. Click "CC" to open up the CC field, and type in the recipient's email address.
4. If you're replying to an email thread, click on the email address in the "To" field. The option to CC will appear. Select "CC" to open begin typing in the email address.

The CC in Gmail is used for keeping someone in the loop. The user must add them to the CC area while conversing with someone in order to keep them updated about a discussion. It allows them to see the conversation and stay up-to-date without having to take any specific action.

To add a CC recipient, click on the downward arrow on the top right corner in the To address box, as shown below. This will display the CC and BCC fields. In the CC field, enter the mail addresses of the recipients who'll receive a copy of the email. Compose your message and hit Send.
If you want to add someone to a chain, loop them in and add a note in the email letting everyone else in the conversation know that you've done so. We use a simple formula: "+Name is now on the thread."
If you want to send a copy to other people, tap the Cc/Bcc field, then do any of the following: Tap the Cc field, then enter the names of people you're sending a copy to. Tap the Bcc field, then enter the names of people you don't want other recipients to see.
Whenever you send emails to anybody, you come across a field next to the "To" field, that is, "CC." This field in Gmail allows you to send a "carbon copy" of that particular email to somebody else apart from the recipients whose names are in the "to" field of the email.
An email loop is an unwanted chain reaction which can occur during email communication where two or more mail servers keep sending each other messages indefinitely. Usually it is caused by misconfigured servers, but there can also be other factors involved that will be covered below.
An email loop is an infinite loop phenomenon, resulting from mail servers, scripts, or email clients that generate automatic replies or responses. If one such automatic response triggers another automatic response on the other side, an email loop is created.
