Exporting addresses from mail to yahoo

How can I export my address list from mail to btinternet in Yahoo I have tried making a folder but this does not export please advise
I need my updated addresses online. from a foreign computer

Hello Rich.
The Apple Address Book exports contacts as vCard files only. The Address Book can export all contacts as a single vCard file (which is what your have) or it can export each contact as a separate vCard file which you should be able to import into your Windows email client since most support/work with the vCard format.
Tell the previous admin to do this.
To create multiple vCards at the same time, hold the Option key when dragging multiple selected cards out of the Address Book window to a created folder. The separate vCard files can be attached to an email message sent to you.
If your email client does not support/work with the vCard format when each contact is provided as a separate vCard file instead of all exported as a single vCard file, tell the admin to use Address Book Exporter utility.

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 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 export addresses from my Earthlink webmail account to my Mac's address book?

Having trouble exporting addresses from my Earthlink webmail account to my Mac's address book. Won't accept the CVS file. How do I do this? Earthlink does not give me any options--it automatically creates a CVS file when I hit "export."

The tweaking comes after you have a working csv file which you don't yet. Just to be sure, here's what I did to get mine: In Earthlink webmail, click Preferences -> Address Book Tab -> Import/Export Address Contacts -> Export Address Book. Hopefully that presents you with this dialog box:
I did Save File, not Open, and put it on my desktop. Then launch Apple Address Book -> File -> Import, and navigate to your desktop and select the csv file. It has to have ".csv" at the end of the name as the correct file type. If you do all that and still get the same error message, something else is wrong. If it's still bad, check the csv file on your desktop, try to open it with Excel for Mac or some other spreadsheet program and you should see all the data - names, addresses if any, email addresses, etc.

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?

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.

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.

Adding addresses from Mail

Hey, Im sure that when I first used mail if someone sent me an email with their home address in it I could hover over said address and would be given the option to add it to my address book....but I dont seem to be able to anymore. Did this feature ever exist or have I made it up? And if it did how come It doesnt work for me anymore?
Cheers

Did this feature ever exist or have I made it up?
I can't say for sure because I'm not running 10.5. But if you hover over anything else, do you have any options to do anything with that data? If so, then I would guess that this feature never existed, since it would rely on Data Detectors, which you have no visible option to turn off. You can certainly add contacts to Address Book from Mail, but at least in 10.4.x that's a menu option, so I can't speak to whether or not that changed in 10.5.x.
Your profile says you're running 10.5.1; if that's true, is there some reason you haven't yet updated to 10.5.4? If you're already running that, you should update your profile so it's accurate.

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.

Copying and Pasting E-Mail addresses from Mail To, From, CC Fields

In previous versions of Mail, you could copy an e-mail address from the To, From, or CC fields and past it into a document. In Mail 4.0 (mad 4.1), when you do this, the address shows up just as it appears in the field from which it was copied.
Here's an example. First, the address as it appears in the From field:
(1) John Smith <[email protected]>
Earlier versions of Mail would allow you to select this address, copy it and paste it as
(2) [email protected]
Now, however, you get the whole thing as in (1), a real nuisance if all you want is the e-mail address itself. Two questions. First, rhetorically, why would anyone want to make this change? Second, is there any way to persuade Mail to revert to its earlier behavior?

Workaround for lack of way to add address from mail to existing contact

The original post below was deleted by Apple because it constituted "feedback" and was not a technical question. Of course it was a technical question. I was hoping someone would suggest a workaround or some way to actually get this to work . I am hoping Apple doesn't delete my post again (really....)
To be clear - Is there a workaround or am I missing something?
Why does Apple have to be so smart? Often, I want to add an email address from an email to an existing contact. If my computer recognizes the contact, I get "add to existing contact" in the right click dropdown. Frequently however, it doesn't recognize the contact and the only options I have are to add a new contact or copy the address and go to the contact and paste.
Why can't it have "add to existing contact" come up everytime like it does in windows? Then I will decide what contact to drop it in.
This is so frustrating. Just let the user have a little autonomy Apple!!!!!!!

Yea, hopefully they add this option from the dropdown menu, otherwise we have to keep creating "new contacts" for the same person. Quite frusterating considering that this option is available on the iphone version of mail.

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.
