List of email addresses from all email messages in outlook - how to

[TechGeek]

Linked in, facebook, and a few other online services allow you to uploa
a comma delimited listing of email addresses to see if there are folk
registered on the service who you know

I would like a program or add-in or utility search my outlook 2007 ps
file and make a list of every email address it finds

These would not be from my contacts, or not just from contacts, bu
from the headers and body of my received and sent emails

I would think this would be a popular utility

Any idea if something like that exists, preferably free

By the way I did look at the lists of programs available here and di
not see one that fits the bill
Thanks

vba should be able to fit your needs.

an outside loop iterating through all folders,

an inside loop iterating through all messages,

for each message, save addresses from to, from, cc, bcc, & body
fields.

I'm not aware of any utility specifically for this, but there are some that
can go through the messages and make new contacts using the From address.
Once in contacts its easily to make an address-only list by creating a
custom view that has only the email address field.

While there are valid reasons for making such a list, I don't think
importing it to facebook or linkedin is appropriate. You should only use
addresses worthy of a contact there since it sends out solicitations to
those addresses.

I really don't want contacts created, just a list.

With facebook, there is an option for finding people who's email
addresses you have, without sending out invitations. Not certain about
linked-in but I believe that is also the case.

Anyone with a little VB skill want to create such a utility? I'm sure
it would be well received!

If you only want the To and From address, you can do it fairly easy with
VBA. Parsing the bodies to collect addresses is more effort. Once collected,
you should remove duplicate addresses - fairly easy in Excel.

See

for code samples to get you started.

If you need help writing vba, the vba experts hang out in the program_vba

Do you think there is a way to get in touch with someone who coul
create a simple routine that would just look in the folder headers, no
the body? Sound fairly straightforward
