Free Email Tutorials › Mac Mail › Automatically include yourself as recipient when sending emails from Mac Mail (Cc or Bcc)
Whenever you send an email message from Mac Mail, it will reach whatever recipients whose email address was typed into one of the three destination fields: To, Cc (Carbon Copy), or Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy). But Apple Mail also allows you to automatically include yourself in emails you send from it, either as a carbon-copied or blind-carbon-copied recipient - the obvious advantage of that approach is that, unlike relying on the Sent folder to see if you did reply to an email or sent a message, or what you sent to whom, storing your own emails in the mailbox where the responses and other messages of that conversation thread are, gives you a two-sided overview of the discussion, even if it implies storing more data than you strictly need to - we have used this system for years, and are able to find an message long after it was sent, even if the email recipient never replied to it!
(If you do let Mac Mail automatically save a copy of your messages in the Sent folder, it should ideally be purged on a regular basis - which means that a record unanswered emails you sent are gone for good - you would normally rely on a response to see the content of the email you sent yourself, if that makes sense.) Make Mail automatically include your email address in messages you send
Here's how you can force Mac Mail to include you as automatic email recipient:

You can of course disable and turn off this setting at any point, by following the same steps outlined above, and simply unchecking the 'Automatically Cc / Bcc myself' checkbox.

Mail User Guide
You can send a message to one or more people, or to a group email address, and show or hide their email addresses. If you have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to send your messages from and even an address for receiving replies.
Send to individual email addresses
In the Mail app on your Mac, do one of the following:
Send to group email addresses
If you use groups in the Contacts app—say for a book club or cycling team—you can send messages to your groups.
Tip: If someone in a group has multiple email addresses, you can choose which one to always use when you email the group. See Change addresses for contacts in a group.
Hide email addresses using Bcc
You can help protect the privacy of your recipients by sending your message so that recipients see “Undisclosed-recipients” in the To field, instead of each other’s email addresses.
Set your From email address
If you set up email aliases or use several email accounts, you can choose which address to use when you send your messages.
If you want to use the same From address for all your messages, choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, click the “Send new messages from” pop-up menu, then choose an email account. Or choose instead to have Mail automatically select the best address, based on the email address of the first recipient in your message, as well as the currently selected mailbox and message.
Set your Reply To email address
You can specify the address where you want to receive replies to your message.
You can drag addresses between address fields and messages.
Some mail servers won’t send a message if even just one address is incorrect. Try to remove or correct invalid addresses, then send the message again.
You can import email addresses from other email apps into the Contacts app, to make the addresses available in Mail. See Import contacts.
