How to export addresses from email (AppleScript possible?)

I have a mailing list sign up form on a website that sends an email to me when someone has signed up, letting me know their name, email, and why they signed up.
I have a smart mailbox set up to display only these messages.
Is it possible to export to a .csv to .txt file all of the names and addresses of these messages?

Hi there.
I have a similar situation to the original poster in this thread: I have about 13850 messages (from different senders and some with attachments) from the last six or so years collected into a single Mail.app mailbox. I need to send/distribute these to some (mostly non-Mac OS X) colleagues. I'm attempting to use the AppleScripts by Andreas Amann - my compliments and thanks for his efforts to save in mbox format (other suggestions?). Specifically, I'm trying to use the "Archive Messages" script to 'export' these messages to a single file.
However, when running this script, I get the spinning beachball for both the Archive Messages and the Mail program. The Archive Messages window shows a spinning barber-pole and displays "Processing Messages in Mailbox." Also, the programs report as not responding in their dock icons and in the force quit window. The activity monitor shows them 'running' and doing activity, etc. and hogging the CPU. The LED on the disk seems disturbingly unlit.
This seems to be running forever. It ran overnight with no output (not even an empty file) at which time I stopped it for concern that it was doing nothing.
My questions are:
1) Is there any way to ascertain whether or not something useful is actually happening?
2) If there is something useful being done, is there anyway to tell how far through the mailbox the process reached?
3) Also, does this script do anything substantially different than selecting the bunch of messages and doing a File->Save As?
4) Any other suggestions?

How to export PDF from email to adobe reader on iPad

I received PDF file in email that I'm opening on my iPad. Opened into Safari browser. Now how do I export or import into my documents folder in installed adobe reader on my iPad?

The steps above are for Safari (browser).
In Apple Mail on iPad/iPhone, long press (press & hold) a PDF document icon shown the body of an email message.
If your PDF document is opened in non-Adobe Reader viewer, tap the PDF document to display the toolbar and tap the Share icon.
and select "Open in Adobe Reader".

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.

Has anyone figured out how to do this??? Apple, it is absolutely ridiculous that you can't create a basic group email. This is BASIC stuff. Why do you have to make it so impossible to do something standard. No wonder people are moving to Android. SORT IT OUT.
you create the group on the server side.
I have no issue creating a group contact and using those contacts.

Extract email addresses from email header - Sender (From) - Mail

Hi!
I would like to extract email addresses from email header from field "Sender (From)" and from email body in Mail at the same time.
I saw only scripts how to extract from email body.
I get emails asking for some informations about product and many people don't include their email address in the body, so I have to extract from email header as well.
I would like to extract email addresses from whole email account, separate alphabeticaly, delete duplicates and save it (separated by comma) in text file.
This I would use for sending massive email to all customers.
I'm on OSX 10.6.8.
Do you have please somebody script for extracting email addresses in the way:
1. select mail account
2. run script
3. save email addresses to txt file
Thank you for help and advise!

Hi Neville!
Last time I was writing basic programs in Turbopascal in 1996.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
1. I switched off in Mail "Use Smart Addresses".
2. I changed the path to my account in both commands:
Command A.
i=~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com # Input file path
o=~/Desktop/ # Output file path
n=`date "+%y%m%d%H%M%S"`-"addresses" # time stamped file name
grep -rh From: $i | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > $o$n
Command B.
grep -rh From: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"
3. I write commands in TERMINAL.
result of Command A:
List of couple emails same like before switching of "Use Smart Addresses"
I answered it already above:
It can extract to .txt file only email addresses from email header which includes after the name as well email address.
Example:
From: Neville Hillyer <[email protected]>
If there is in header only the name without the email address then it's not extracted (email is visible after secondary click on the name)
Example:
From: Neville Hillyer
I just checked that most of emails I have has in the emailheader only the name without the email address so I miss most of email addresses.
Result of Command B:
>
And nothing going on...
4. I tried the same in AppleScript editor
Result of Command A:
Syntax error. A unknown token can’t go after this identifier.
I changed the path but I still get syntax errors
(instead of i=~/Library... i put i= Users/muzaa/Library...)
Result of Command B:
Syntax error: A “from” can’t go after this identifier.
grep -rh From: /Users/radimmuzikant/Library/Mail/[email protected]@pop.gmail.com | grep -o '[-a-zA-Z0-9.]*@.[^>]*' | awk '!seen[$0]++' > ~/Desktop/`date \"+%y%m%d%H%M%S\"`"

How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

How to export photos from photo gallery to my iPad

I had no trouble finding the "Export" tools in the "File" menu. They are greyed out when no photo is selected, but they are functional after selecting one or more photos.
I agree that it would be nice to have the "Reveal in Finder" option back, but they probably don't want us mucking about inside the Photos library structure.
