Script for gathering email address from my computer

Hi, I'm a noob around here, but a mac user for many years.
I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to gather email address from my computer. I havent kept my address book updated by saving people's email addresses, but I know they are there in old messages I've sent and recieved.
If anyone has or knows how to easily make an applescript that will complie all of the addresses on my comp into one neat text file, please let me know. I just got a program called direct mail, and i want to set up different mailing lists to get in contact with my people about upcoming events and whatnot.
Thank you so much for your time.

I will try that.. but I still want to actually try to gather EVERY email address in my computer, even, lets say, addresses that were in the CC of things sent to me. I'm not a hardcore spammer or anything, but i have a few events a year that I want to let all my people know about, so I think I'm looking for some kind of script to cull ALL of the addresses in my computer. Anyone know?

  • Fillable Form, script for verifying email address

    I am trying to write a script so that in one of my fillable areas I want to ensure the email address is correctly inputed.
    example *@*.*
    I don't care about the first name or the domain just that the end user inputs it correctly. 
    example [email protected]  and not abc@domaincom or abc@domainnet etc....
    Adobe Pro X

    There are actually 2 undocumented methods in Acrobat/Reader that can do
    this:
    CBIsValidEmail(email)
    and
    eMailValidate(email)
    Either one will return a boolean specifying whether the email is valid or
    not.

  • 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\"`"

  • Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message and put them into a group in Contacts?

    Has anyone got a script to read a list of email addresses from a Mail message header and put them into a group in Contacts?

    Now Tony, I know you can't hear my tone on a forum post but I was not complaining, simply stating facts . This change brought several people in my office to a grinding halt in a long established workflow that is really rather simple (and I thought was already assumed from the original post above ):
    1) Select a set of records in FileMaker Pro 12 and export only their e-mail addresses as a CSV file.
    2) Open that CSV file in Excel.
    3) Copy the column of e-mail address.
    4) paste into the appropriate recipient field in Mail.
    5) Send
    If I were to complain it would be about Apple's typically opaque approach to updates. There is no granular explanation of why changes were made or even "what" changes were made.
    Complaining is futile since Apple is Apple and is unlikely to change, but sometimes it is cathartic to "shout into the void" .
    I had thought about doing something with a formula in Excel and your suggestion was simple and helpful. Again, however, it is only a workaround for a long established helpful behavior that Apple has inexplicably broken/removed in Mavericks Mail.
    I, and the other posters here, would love to have the capability back rather than have to add previously unneeded steps to our workflows.
    Ultimately we may add scripting steps to the FileMaker side to export the address lists with commas inserted already if Apple ends up having permanently removed this feature.

  • Brand new iPad: ios 7 How to transfer email addresses from computer

    I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I could not find exactly what I was looking for. 
    I just bought an iPad and updated the operating system.  Previous questions about adding email addresses from computer to iPad mentioned goin to iTunes and then the index tab.  I don't have an "iTunes" icon; I have "iTunes U" but there is no index tab there.  I'm confused.  Sorry for my computer-illiterateness.
    And thanks to any responses.

    Hi

    I've got hundreds of customer contact forms that I would like

    to send it to from a database.
    This is an attempt to hide the customers email address from

    Can anyone please point me in the direction of a newbie

  • Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address

    Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

    Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
    #Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
    #Highlight an entry in the drop down list
    #Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

  • I just got an Iphone and I can't email from it.  I received an email that said I needed to verify my email but when I did the message I got was: invalid account for this email address.  I don't understand.  Thoughts?

    I just got an Iphone and I can't email from it.  I received an email that said I needed to verify my email but when I did the message I got was: invalid account for this email address.  I don't understand.  Thoughts?

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

  • How can i paste a column of email addresses from an excel spreadsheet into a Mail message To: window

    In the past I have been able to send a group email by copying a column of email addresses from an Excel spreadsheet and pasting it into the To: window of an email message I had composed. I simply dragged my cursor down the column containing the email addresses, right-clicked Copy, put my cursor into the To: window of the email, and hit Paste. Mail recognized the list as a series of email addresses and I was able to hit Send and the email went on its way.
    Today I tried to do this and after I hit Send I got an error message. It appears to me that Mail did not recognize the list as a series of individual email addresses but saw them as one long address; the error message said it "did not appear to be a valid email address". Has something changed in Mail? I recently installed Mavericks!
    I can't be the only one who sends group emails this way. Are others experiencing this problem?

  • I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail is not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice

    I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.

    I had this and fixed it.
    I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
    After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
    Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
    Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
    1. Quit Mail
    2. In Problem machine, go to
    Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
    3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
    4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
    5. Start Mail on the problem machine
    This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
    Hope this helps

  • Changing outgoing email address from iphone

    I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
    Thanks

    You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
    When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
    For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
    * Incoming settings:
    o Host Name: mail.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Outgoing Settings:
    o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
    o User Name: MobileMe user name
    o Password: MobileMe password
    * Advanced:
    o Use SSL - On
    o Authentication - Password
    o Server Port - 587
    Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

  • Is there a program to extract email addresses from a searchable pdf?

    Is there a program that will extract email addresses from a searchable pdf?
    I scanned a 75 page excel spreadsheet and used OCR to create a searchable pdf. I've verified that the OCR did work, the email address are searchable, but I need a way to extract them from the pdf so that I can add them to an email list database. There is other data in the spreadsheets that is not needed and it is making it impossible to just copy and paste. Does anybody know if there is a program available that works on the mac platform for this. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • TS3899 tell me how to transfer my email addresses from my laptop to my ipad mini

    SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO LOAD MY EMAIL ADDRESSES FROM MY LAPTOP ONTO MY IPAD MINI AND KEEP IT SIMPLE...I'M PRETTY NEW AT ALL THIS (AND OLD TOO)

    Hello there Angela,
    I was looking for some resources on syncing your Mail accounts from your computer to your iPad.
    In our article named iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296. This section in particular will get you started:
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device (your iPad) to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side. Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    When you see that bar you want to click Info, and there will be a checkbox there to Sync Mail Contacts. Check the box, then click Apply in the lower right corner of the iTunes window.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • 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.
