Thunderbird email extracting

Asked by rnby in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: thunderbird, extracting, email, from

Hello
I need to extract the email addresses from 15000 emails the from addresses (email) with name
How would I be able to do that.
I had an extention called addresscontext version 0.8
It does it normaly good,
but if there is and a sender and a from than it doesn't do it goed
if there is only a from then it works fine.

my 15000 addresses all have a from and sender address

thanks
RNBY

Sorry about the points but I only have 75 left.

Althought it may not be that clean you can go do the directory where your e-mail folders are do something like:

     grep From: Inbox > userlist

If you are running windows you could:

     findstr /c:"From:" Inbox > userlist

findstr cannot be found I get when I try that

What version of Windows are you running?  Try:

     find "From:" Inbox > userlist

I run windows xp on my laptop and vista on my pc.
I have the files on the xp but could copy them to the vista if that is better.

I tried this

               find "From:" Inbox > userlist

I get al kind of weird lines.
not real addresses.  the @****.*** part is right but the *****@ part is weird, like long numbers and combinations

Thanks

No XP should be fine, findstr should be there I am not sure why its not.  Basically  find and findstr do the same thing, its just findstr is about 100 times faster.

Are all of them like that or just some of them?  What you should see is things like:

     From: user@someplace.com
     From: <user@someplace.com>
     From: John Doe <user@someplace.com>
     From: "John Doe" <user@someplace.com>

Is some cases you may see something that starts:

     From: =?iso-8859-1

Some of them are like you said (towards the end of the file).

but it's really messy

Because it tells me at some the city, some the city country, some name , city, country

Can you post (cleaned up of course) a sample?

When you look at the e-mail in Thunderbird how does it appear?

The line start with just "From:"?  The command I gave you will find all lines with the string "From:" in it, so it is possible that the lines with the unusal text is not really a From line, but just a line with the word "From:" in it.

how would I clean it up

replace things that may be considered personal that you don't want the world to see with "common" things.

Say you have something that shows:

  From: John B. Good <jbgood@mycompany.com>

You could post:

   From: John Doe<jdoe@domain.tdl>
