To & Recipients Fields --Both Captures the users to whom the email is sent. (To address).

Copied Field- Captures the 'cc' users.

Blind copied Field - Captures the 'bcc' users.

Please mark as accepted if it helps. Thank you.

As mentioned both hold the same information.

Not sure why that table has 2 fields to capture same information
