How do you add multiple addresses from Mail to Address Book at once?

So let's say I receive an email to myself and 50 other recipients and I want to add those other recipients to my address book. Do I seriously have to go through and select "Add to Address Book" on each of the fifty contacts?! Tried doing a shift click which will highlight all contacts, but then when you right-click to get the "add to address book option" it only displays one single contact at the top of the menu. I know there is a way to add select and add multiple contacts to address book at once because I figured out how to do it once a long time ago and I still have the 67 card group to prove it. I just can't remember how I did it!!! Didn't think it'd be such a hard feature to re-discover. Would love some help on this! Thanks.

there is no built-in way to do this. the only way i know is by using Mail Scripts
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
it has a script "Add addresses" that does just what you want.

Why Can't I slide email addresses from MAIL to ADDRESS BOOK :-(

Am I missing something?
Why can't I slide all the email addresses from an email to a group in my Address Boob. I am shocked that this is not easily possible.
Am I missing the easy way to do this?

In addition to the suggestions, [Mails Scripts|http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html] has an applescript that will collect all the addresses in an email and give you the option to select a subset and save to a group or make a new group.

Adding Email Addresses from Mail to Address Book

I send out a lot of emails that I would like to save in my address book. Address Book automatically sorts the address by first name or last name. This makes it virtually impossible to locate daily or hourly all the emails that you saved to your Address Book. Especially when your Address Book has over 3,000 addresses. Is there anyway to save email addresses using Mail directly to a Group in the Address Book?
Thank you.

Welcome to the discussions, Big.
If you select an address in an email message you can drag it and drop it onto a group in Address Book, making a new contact and adding it to the group in a single operation. You can't do this from Mail's Previous Recipients window, though you can use the PR window, ordered by date, to see who you sent email to three days ago - but not hourly.

Is there a quick way to get email addresses from Mail into Address Book?

I would like to collect the email addresses that pop up when I start to type email addresses into the "To" area and transfer them into my Address Book, but have no idea where they are stored. Is this possible and if so is there a quick way to do it.
Thank you

I think I figured it out... I went into Apple Mail > Window > Previous Recipients and now im adding the ones not in my address book into my address book.
It seems relatively easy... Apple, this is why I love you.

Adding address from Mail to Address Book as a Group

I receive email as part of a group, or multiple email addresses. I want to add everyone to my address book as a group.
Do I have to add each individual and then drag them into the group?
I mean if my church choir director sends email to the choir and it shows all the emails, can I just add al my choir mates to my address book and a new Group in my address book?

OK here is the solution to the fix. I simply deleted the account in address book and set it up again.
Working like a charm now.

Drag and drop from mail to address book not happening

Hi guys, I can no longer drag email addresses from Mail into Address Book. The address just bounces back. I've repaired permissions, installed the latest security update, repaired permissions again, rebooted twice. Any ideas?
Mail 4.5. Address Book 5.0.3 (883). Mac OS 10.6.8. MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 666MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Hi mbriscoe, I've since upgraded to Lion and the same downgrade of functionality exists. I can no longer drag and drop an address from Mail into Address Book. I now have to click name, wait for menu, select Add to Address Book, go into Address Book and find the name I just added, then drag the name into the specific group I want it to be in. It used to be very useful, the drag and drop, in an "it just works" kind of way. Now it's not.

Export email addresses from Mail?

Is there any way to export email addresses from Mail into a CSV file? I know I can push it to Address Book then export but that mixes all the exports in with my existing addresses.

If you know SQL, you could export out of the previous recipients database file inside your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder. It's a sqlite3 database.

Extract email addresses from Mail?

A friend uses Mail on OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). He doesn't use Address Book. Instead, when he starts to type an address in Mail, Mail offers to complete it, often with several choices. His archive contains thousands of email addresses. My question: Is there a way to transfer the email addresses in Mail to Address Book without having to do each one manually?
Mail comes up with choices of email address so quickly that it is hard to believe it scans the whole archive to find them. Does it have a database of some sort that it refers to? And can this database (if one exists) be read as a plain text file?
Thanks!

With respect to: "However I did post reference to D-LinkDBT-120 adapter that will pair with my bluetooth cell phone 6103", D-Link says "MAC OS X v.10.4.3 or higher required." ( DBT 120 )I don't know, myself, of a way around that requirement. Good luck, though.

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.

How do I get permanently rid of unwanted addresses from Mail?

How do I get permanently rid of unwanted addresses from Mail?

I don't think there's a way to edit the previous recipients. Not easily, anyway.
I'd just delete what's wrong and make sure to get it right the next time.

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

Receiving undelivered email reports from mailer daemon

Hi,
I use Mac Mail 5.1, which is linked to my hotmail email account and for the past 24 hours I've been receiving "undelivered email reports from Mailer Daemon" but it appears that, even when I send the same message from my yahoo accout, the problem still persists. Any assisstance would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Those reports come from the server at the message destination. For whatever reason, the mail couldn't be delivered. It's not a problem with your Mac.
