Need to import all contacts from CC field into outlook contacts
Hi,
How can I import all the emails from the outlook CC Field into my address book. Can I create a seperate Distribution list? I have over 100 emails in the cc field, which one of my employees sent out but I can't copy these emails or import these. I tried to copy all these emails into a notepad/excel but it looses the link. I can only copy the names not the email addresses. I am sure there is a way and an expert on this board would know the answer. Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Sorry for not being clear. We usually send out emails to our clients and this job was performed by a person in my marketing department. She left and also deleted all files on her PC. Now only way I can retreive the email addresses of my clients is by copying the email addresses from a CC field of one of the emails she sent out and where I was also cc'd. Now, if I try to copy these email addresses in the cc field, they lose the link. It just shows the names not the email address i.e If I copy all email addresses from the cc field, email will be copied like "John Trevor" not "john_trevor@abc.com" So when I send out an email to John obviously it gets bounced back becuase there is no valid email address. Hope I made the question little more clearer.

However, if I reply all, emails are correct but than I get server error saying "too many emails" I want to able to copy these email addresses and divide them into multiple batches. To do so, I need to import/copy these email addresses into excel or make a new Outlook Distribution list???
How about creating a contact for each email address? Would that work?
ASKER
Yes, that's a possibility but that will take a while. I must have over 1000 contacts and adding each will be tedious and time consuming. There's got be a way to copy all email addresses or import all email addresses into outlook distribution list or a new contact.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was asking if it'd be okay for a scripted solution to create a contact for each email address it extracts as opposed to entering them in a spreadsheet or distribution list.

need the script to do that

I'm not clear on what you're asking. Are you saying that you want to import all the addresses in the cc field of a single message into Outlook or do you want to import the cc field of multiple messages? Also, you mention importing the emails. I assume you menat the email address. If not, then please explain.
