If I send an email to different people through BCC, most of the times - later, when checking my 'sent items' box - I cannot see to whom I sent it through BCC.
My email address is a Hotmail address. Furthermore, in my Account Settings / Copies & Folders, I let all the emails that I send or forward, automatically be sent to my back-up email address at Gmail. Maybe this has something to do with it?

If you send your copy to yourself by email, then yes, you won't see who it was Bcc'd to, because that's the whole point of Bcc:.
The only copy you have that contains the Bcc: list is the copy made to your Sent folder. And even here, some mail services fiddle with it; in IMAP-connected accounts using the default settings, the Sent folder is placed on the server, and gmail in particular removes Bcc data. (It can also interfere with copies to self, on the basis that you have a copy in the Sent folder, so a Cc: copy to yourself is presumed redundant. But I digress…)
I don't know if Hotmail/Outlook/Live does any redaction on sent messages. One thing you could try is to set Thunderbird to make copies of sent messages go to the Sent folder in Local Folders in Thunderbird; then they are yours and beyond the reach of email servers and services.

Dear Zenos,
This seems to do the trick: "One thing you could try is to set Thunderbird to make copies of sent messages go to the Sent folder in Local Folders in Thunderbird; then they are yours and beyond the reach of email servers and services."
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
