Email Address Extractor – Advanced Filters
To help you obtain a clean mailing list, Email Address Collector offers a variety of extraction filters. You can choose to extract email addresses by excluding or including email folders, email content or subject keywords, domain names, sender names, date/time stamps, nature (robot-like or not), etc. The email address extraction engine also automatically eliminates duplicates. Email Address Collector is simply the most advanced email address extractor software.
For example, you can define a filter that lets you extract email addresses from Outlook emails stored in a certain Outlook folder, received from “webmaster@domain.com”, received between 1st of March 2012 and 27th of July 2012, with the email subject “web form” and excluding spam-like email addresses. Email Address Collector will scan and extract the email addresses that match this criteria, then it will eliminate duplicates and so you will obtain a ready-to-use mailing list that can be saved as a generic CSV file. You can then open the CSV file with Microsoft Excel or import it to your email marketing software.
You’d expect Outlook to know how extract all the addresses from an e-mail message into your contacts list, but it can’t do anything of the kind. Enter Email Address Collector, which scours all the messages in an Outlook folder (or almost anything else) for addresses that it can add to your Outlook address book. PC Magazine
