README

Extract the email address from all the .eml files inside a given folder

Why?

Most email clients (GMail, Outlook, Thunderbird, ...) do not allow to export a list of email addresses in a simple way from an email folder.

On the other hand, there is always a way to export the messages as .eml files.

This little tool recursively scans the .eml files in a directory and extracts from them all the email addresses.

Installation

Install with Composer

composer require migliori/email-address-extractor

or clone or download the package to a location where your PHP server can access it

Usage

• Open extractor.php in your browser from a running PHP server
• Paste in the form the path to the folder on your hard disk where the .eml files are located
• Choose your options
• Click the Find email addresses button
• The Email Address Extractor will analyze your folder and show the results in a textarea.

Remarks:

The .eml files must be on the same disk as Email Address Extractor. The tool is not designed to download remote .eml files.

The Email Address Extractor analyzes your folder recursively, which means that it will also analyze the subfolders.

Available options

The options allow to choose the email addresses:

• of the senders ('From:')
• of the recipients ('To:')
• from the contents of the emails

You can check several options at the same time.
