eMail Address Extractor For Mac

Mailing lists are necessary for a variety of reasons, not just for bombarding you with spam. And one thing they all have in common is that they cannot be created manually, unless you think copying emails one by one is feasible.

eMail Address Extractor is an aptly-named tool that does the heavy lifting by automating the entire process. It can scan files, web pages, and even your mail account for email addresses that are then filtered and exported to various formats.

If you want to extract emails from a file, or even a bunch of files in an archive, you only need to drop them in the main window. The app can extract content from archives and scan files for addresses. It supports any format that contains plain ASCII text.

Once the scanning process is completed, you can choose to export the extracted emails to .csv or .txt. If there are certain types of addresses or files that you want to avoid, you can set up exclusions in the app's preferences.

If you're just getting started, you're unlikely to have a file with email addresses to extract. One way to get things rolling is to scan a page, or crawl an entire website, for emails that are publically listed.

Alternatively, you can look to your Apple Mail account. Emails from all your contacts, or even the contents of these messages, can be scanned for addresses and exported to a simple document.

If a mailing list needs to be processed in order to remove certain types of emails, this app can help you out with that as well. Just provide the original file and another that contains addresses to be removed.

eMail Address Extractor is easy to get the hang of, and it's quite versatile as well. It can grab emails from a number of sources, and it can help you filter and manage your mailing lists as well.
