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.

How can I export email addresses from apple mail?

How can I export email addresses from Apple Mail?
Just to be CRISTAL CLEAR please don't reply with export instructions from the address book.....not interested in this.
I have customers that fill-out a request form online, then the data is sent to our database on our server, and another copy is sent to my email account. The server database got corrupted and is now lost. The only data left are in my email app called APPLE MAIL. I have created Filtered Folders so the data is just in one Folder, not mixed with all other emails. Is there a way to export the email names & addresses from APPLE MAIL to a CVS file or Excel file?
Again this is not a question related to Apple Address Book. This is ONLY for Apple MAIL exporting!
Thanks

There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Add Addresses (Mail) which adds addresses found in the selected messages (in the header fields "From", "To", "Cc", and "Bcc") to the Address Book. This is much more flexible than the "Add Sender to Address Book" available in Mail and provides a convenient way for creating mailing lists.

A work flow to extract email address from mail

Can anyone help me. I have a bunch of emails that contain text information including an email address. I want a Automator workflow that will extract the email addresses from the emails and then save them as a comma separated text file.

Hi,
Try this workflow:
1) Get Selected Mail Items
2) Run AppleScript
In the "Run AppleScript", paste the following in:
on run {input, parameters}
set the output to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count of the input
set theMessage to item i of the input
set theContent to ""
tell application "Mail"
set theContent to the content of theMessage
end tell
if theContent is not equal to "" then
set output to (output & theContent)
end if
end repeat
return output
end run
3) Run Shell Script
In "Run Shell Script", select "/usr/bin/perl" in the shell popup and "to stdin" in the pass input popup. Then paste the following in:
$input = join("", );
@emails = ($input =~ /\b[A-Z0-9._%-]@[A-Z0-9.-]\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/ig);
while( @emails > 1 ) {
print shift(@emails) . ", ";
print @emails[0];
4) New TextEdit Document
If you select the mail messages that have the email information in them, then you can run the workflow and hopefully it does the right thing.
Hope it helps!

I want to copy the name with email address from Mail like I could before Mavericks

Hi There
I have resisted upgrading to Mavericks for all this time because Mavericks now stops the name of the contact being copied when I copy the email address from the sender. What is now copied is: '[email protected]'
What I want and what it used to be before Mavericks is: 'Dave Garnish <[email protected]>'
I know it sounds petty but it has stopped me upgrading for all this time, but now I need 4k monitor support.
Thanks in advance anyone who may have the answer to this.
Best
Dave

The following Terminal command used to enable the use of the name along with the email address:
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool YES
(Change YES to NO to undo the change.)
I don't know if it still works.
You can also affect this feature in the mail message via Mail, Preferences, Use Smart Addresses. When unchecked the sender's address gets the name and angle bracket thing.

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.

How do i erase a bad email address from mail?

Hello,
I once miss typed an email address in mail and it haunts me everyday. If I type the first three letters of the persons name, which is my habit, the bad address is attached to the mail. The result is that I get a server error when i try to send the mail. Then I have to save it as a draft in order to change the address to the correct one by typing fewer of more letters of the recipients first name. I would save myself allot of frustration if I knew where mail stores address shortcuts.
Thanks very much

Start by making a new message. Now type in the start of the mistake. When you see the mistake allow it to be put in the To: line. It should appear as a normal address with the little blue button around it. Now right click on the address and pick the choice *Remove From Previous Recipients List*. This should clear that mistake out. I just tried it and it worked for me.

Address Book imported all of my email addresses from Mail without warning

My Address Book suddenly was full of new contacts, every single email I got in the past had it's sender copied to my address book without me importing anything. They were just there. A total mess. I now have to manually erase all the contacts I don't want
How can I prevent this from happening again?

I have no clue. Just opened Address Book today and there they were. stuff like [email protected], mails that I got only once, or five different email addresses from the same contact, each as a single contact file. I am no stranger to isync and address book, never experienced anything like that.

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.

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.

Hard to explain, exporting email addresses from computer and I need from this point onwards new addresses to be logged somewhere else.

I will be exporting all my email addresses to set up a retail customer mailing list. Because we are a business I have suppliers emails along with a trade customers who I will have to manually find and remove from my mailing list.
Then in 1 months time I hope to export the next lot of addresses (and every month after) to add to my retail mailing list. I would ideally like this export to only include the addresses that were accumulated since the last export. This is so that I do not have to go through the whole lot all over again.
Is this something that is possible? Can anyone suggest how I can manage this or is there another way to achieve what I want that I am not thinking of?
Many thanks
Ricky

lots of ways.
How about creating a retail and other address books in Thunderbird. Then you only have to export the one you want each time, or use the mail merge add-on to actually send messages from Thunderbird.
Given all email address add options include ac choice of address book, except the automated collections of outgoing addresses not in the address books,
I suggest you get into the habit of adding new addresses to the correct address book before them mail is sent.
Given that the whiter list for images is no longer the address book from Version 31 on you should be able to manage your address book fairly simply.

HT1694 how do I remove an email address from Mail that is not in my contacts list?

I have and E-mail address that comes up when I start typing an address into Mail when I create a new E-mail and this particular E-mails address is not associated with any of my Contacts.
How can I remove this E-mail address so it no longer appears?
Apple iPhone 4S iOS 5.1
thank you
Dave

You're welcome.
If that email address is your Apple ID, I don't believe you can delete it.
If you have your cell phone number selected as your Caller ID, when sending an iMessage it will be sent from your phone number.
Since your Apple ID email address is registered as well, if someone has your email address in their contacts, they can select your email address to send you an iMessage in addition to your phone number.
When this recipient says you are sometimes sending an iMessage via email, it is received as an email with the Mail app on their iPhone, not with the Messages app?

Can't delete email address from Mail

I keep sending emails to the wrong address as when I start typing a name Mail seems to bring up a quite random address for the recipient if there are several.
Not only does it not default to the last address received from/sent to but it will enter an old address that has been deleted from Address Book.
I can still see the deleted address in Mail when I click on the address button [tho it is well deleted in Address Book] and the only option in Mail seems to be to delete the whole card.
Any suggestions most welcome,
Colin

Colin,
Have you checked Mail>Window>Previous Recipients for the old address? If not, attempt to "Remove From List" at that location and let us know what happens.

How do I clear the email addresses from Mail memory auto-fill?

I am constantly getting emails back from people I didn't mean to email, thanks to the auto-fill option in my email. I don't mind mail remembering the people in my address book, but not EVERYONE I've ever sent or received an email from. Does anyone know how to clear the cache in my mail memory?

Wow, that's wonderful. Thanks, Barney. (I'd mark it "solved" if I could.)

Export email addresses to mail

I have a numbers table that has one column with email addresses.
I would like to export these somehow into mail.app so that I can send out a letter to each email address- perhaps as a group in address book??
can't figure out how.
thanks-

Hello
With this short script, no need to remember if it's column or row which is accepted.
Line break as well as TABs are replaced by ", ". So, in both cases, Mail will be happy.

Address field inserts my own email address from mail

Hello,
Having a couple of issues with Mail and Address Book applications.
1. When I am in the email application and want add a mailing address from the email to my existing contacts in Address Book, it successfully adds the physical address BUT it also always adds my personal email address in the email address field. WHy?
2. In the same situation, mail does not always highlight the entire mailing address, cutting off the street address. Are physical addresses font sensitive or format sensitive? For example, the email from friend goes like this:
My address
XXX Main Street Unit 1
Sunnyvale, CA XXXX
Looks like mail is confused with the "my address" and only allows the City, State, and zip to be added. I would think that mail would be much more smarter than this. If so, is there a workaround?
Thanks!

Here are ways to add contact information:
In an address field of a message you’re sending, click the arrow in a Smart Address (an email address that appears within a blue field) and choose “Add to Address Book” from the pop-up menu.
In a message you’ve received, move the pointer over a phone number, email address, or street address anywhere in the text. Mail detects the information and outlines it as a field with a pop-up menu. Click the arrow and choose an option from the pop-up menu. For example, you can add the information to an existing contact or create a new contact. If you’re connected to the Internet, you can map an address.
In a message you’ve received, click the arrow in a Smart Address and choose “Add to Address Book” from the pop-up menu. Or select a message in the message window and choose Message > “Add Sender to Address Book.”
Choose Window > Previous Recipients. In the list, select an address and then click “Add to Address Book.” Addresses that are already in your address book have a card icon next to the name in the list.
To select addresses that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last addresses you want to add; to select addresses that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each address.
More information can be found using Mail Help.
