Email Address Extractor
=======================

[](#email-address-extractor)

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

Why?
----

[](#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
------------

[](#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
-----

[](#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
-----------------

[](#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.
