How to create a group in address book from a mail folder

I have a mailbox folder in mail with about 100 emails. I want to add all of these email addresses to a new group in address book app. How can I add all of theses at one time to a new group. I dont want to add each email address one at a time. Is there a way to select all of my mail and just make a new group from that?

One of Andreas Amann's Mailscripts will do the address harvesting - I don't know if it puts them in a group.

Creating a group in address book from a group of emails

Hello,
I would like to create an email group in Address Book from a list of email addresses that was sent to me.
The scenario: I receive an email from our team manager for my son's baseball team. Listed in the "To:" header in the email are the 20 email addresses for the parents. I would like to copy/paste those emails or highlight/drag them into a new Group created in Address Book.
How do I do this without adding each individual email into the address book and then dragging each individual contact into the Group?
Thanks,

I too am looking for a solution. I found this script on another thread that worked but would rather a more direct connnection.

How many in the group? Some ISP's have a restriction on that. Check with your ISP.

How to see iCloud Groups in Address Book?

Hi,
I want to remove the Contacts set in "On my Mac", but keep seeing the Groups in Address Book. All my Contacts are in "On My Mac" & iCloud as well with identical Groups. But if I remove the "On my Mac" Contacts in the Address Book on my iMac, all my iCloud Contacts still show under "All Contacts", but the Groups are empty.All Groups still show up online & on my iPad, as these are seeing the iCloud "copy" of the Contacts.
The reason I even started looking at this was after upgrading to Mountain Lion I get Double Birthday notifications, and Double Birthdays in my Calendar under subscriptions. After experimenting with removing the On My Mac Contacts set, it is definitely the two sets that is causing the doubling. (Removed the On My Mac Contacts set, Birthdays just showed once, returned them, back up to doubling)
So if anyone can suggest a solution I am all ears!

ShonaIL04,
It's amazing that it has now been close to three years and no one else has needed org missed this function with the exception of the two of us.
On top of that, my original post was written when I was in 10.6.8 and the same issue is present with 10.9.5!!!!
I'll guess we'll have to wait another few years....

How can I import my .mac address book from online to my computer?

My macbook was stolen last week, and I am now using an older iBook that we had, but I haven't been able to retrieve my mail address book from the backups I was making. I have most of the contacts in my address book when using .mac web-based email, but not on my computer. I am afraid to turn on syncing because I don't want my computer to erase all the addresses stored online. How can I reverse sync, and get my online address book to import to my computer?
Thanks.

go to 'system prefernces > .Mac > advanced > reset sync data'
Then choose to replace everything on your compu with .Mac data. (Back up before you begin! or is there really nothing to back up, then don't bother of course)

Launch Address Book from Apple Mail

Has anyone come across a means by which to add a shortcut to address book to the Mailboxes navigation panel on the left side of the screen?
I have tried googling without success. I've searched the forum without success. It maybe that I've used the wrong search terms (wouldn't be the first time.)
Anyway, I tried dragging the address book from the dock into the nav panel with no success.
Also, yes, I'm aware of the toolbar link to "Address". Thanks in advance to anyone who points that out. I am talking about launching and bringing up the actual Address Book application.
Cheers!

1. The address book button doesn't launch the address book. It launches a pseudo address book (PAB). When I double click on an entry in the PAB, instead of seeing the entire entry I end up with a new email addressed to the entry. I'm not sure I can even get to the actual Address Book entry from the PAB!
So, from a user-interface prespective, you've got two different applications with virtually the same name, "Address Book" and "Address". The apps have different actions when you do the same thing. I find that irksome to say the least.
2. Why can't I customize the Nav bar regardless of how other people use it?
that's something of a loaded question. I'm not privy to apple design decision but they have to walk a fine line between allowing too much stabilizability or too little. allowing too much of it may result in unwieldy and very hard to navigate interface, lead to bugs, software conflicts etc. allow too little and people complain. in this case the right thing to do IMO would be to fix the addresses button in Mail. quite a few functions in it were broken in Snow Leopard compared to previous versions of Mail.
also, Snow leopard does provide a much higher degree of stabilizability than previous OS X versions via services. as i said, you can make a service available in mail that will launch Address Book. you can also bind a shortcut to it.
I appreciate your presence and knowledge based on 20,664, soon to be "5" posts so I assume you're either a direct employee and or consultant who works with Apple on a daily basis.
no, I'm neither actually.

Domino Address book from Java Mail API

Hi
How do we access the address book of a mail server (typically a Domino mail server in my case) using Java Mail API.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
RajT

Havent done this myself but I dont think the JavaMail api will do this as its focussed on providing mail functionality rather than directory access.
I believe you can access the Domino address book using LDAP. Not sure of the details, or if you need to config the domino server a particular way. The Java api that will help you do this is JNDI, though if your application is domino specific you may actually find it easier to avoid the LDAP approach and see what functioanlity the Notes java api provides in this area.

How can I stop a shared address book from duplicating groups?

Hi,
in our company we want to have one central address book, because we basically all contact the same people.
What I did was create an account on my Mac Mini Server and added that users address book to everyones addressbook app.
The problem I have now is that regularily all groups we have are duplicated, simply by opening the addressbook on a second machine.
Is there a better way of sharing an address book?
How do I stop the duplication of addresses?
(All machines are Mountain Lion!)
Thank you for any tips!
All the best
Christoph

Simply creating a group in Address Book

How do you create a group in the Address Book? I've looked in all menu dropdowns when the Address Book is open, and I have no options for creating a group or distribution list that I can see. What am I missing??
Thanks

how I access the Address Book directly from Mail.
Frequently you don't need to - just start typing a name and Mail will find matching names (including group names) in Address Book. If you have AB open you can drag a card to the To (or CC or BCC) fields of an outgoing mail message, or click on the label beside an email address on a contact card and select "send email".

How to select multiple groups in Address Book???

In Snow Leopards Address Book, I was able to select an Address Book Group and then shift-click to select a range of groups. How do you do this in Lion????

Mac OS X v10.7 Lion How to Tell Which Groups an Address Book Entry Is In?

Under Snow Leopard's address book, I could press the Option key and it would highlight which groups the selected address book entry was in. How do I do that with Lion's address book?

Hey Mr. Picasso,
You need to be in "Groups" View in Address Book. Hit Command-3 to get there.
Then click (highlight) an address book entry on the right hand page.
Next, hit the Option key. The groups that the entry belongs to will highlight in blue on the left hand page.
BTW, to me the "highlight in blue text" is badly chosen by Apple, 'cause it is hardly discernable from the other "black on white" texts. No way to change it, AFAIK. The old "yellow highlight" worked much better, IMHO.
Regards, Peter

How can I organize groups in Address Book while running iCloud under Lion?

I am frustrated with the new Address Book for many reasons:
It is no longer possible to view groups, list, and cards at the same time, just groups and list or list and cards. This means it is very cumbersome to organize cards to multiple groups, something that wa relatively easy before. Why not allow us to see all three at once and conveniently drag and delete?
The individual cards do not list what groups each card belongs to. Why didn't Apple include a list and a way to change the group when editing cards? Do any of the Apple programmers actually use their own programs to make them useful and convenient?
While running iCloud addresses are duplicated (one set "On My Mac" and another "iCloud"). While it is possible to view only one set or the other, I found that it is best to backup and then delete the "On My Mac" cards and groups. Even then it is confusing to navigate and move cards around.
The iCloud synch with my iPod is working well, but I have to synch my older iPhone 3G with a cable. (will not run OS X v 10.7 Lion).
The iCloud address book is not synching properly with Yahoo, but rather the Yahoo address are being pulled over to the "On My Mac" set that had been removed. Why can't we set controls of pushing or pulling data vs synching, as well as whether whether this is with the iCloud or "On My Mac" addresses?
The new address book format, while cute is too bright, hard to read and wastes a lot of space with white nothingness. Why can't we have a more attractive, easier to read, and functional address book format, with more ability to customize format for advanced users?
I suppose I may have answered my own question: basically it is possible to manage the groups as long is willing to put up with inefficiency and backs up manually by exporting the address book regularly as a backup (because so much can and does go wrong). Does anybody have more insight?
