Yahoo Email Address Grabber

Even though you might decide to change your email clients as well as the services associated with them, the people you communicate with remain mostly the same. Maybe this is why users go to great lengths to take their email address book with them when switching to a new email client.

Yahoo Email Address Grabber is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to extract the email addresses of the contacts you have been exchanging messages over the years.

The setup is as simple as it gets and entails following a few standard steps that you are probably accustomed to by now. Upon launch, you are required to enter your Yahoo email credentials and you can hit the dedicated button to commence the address extraction.

The program comes with a clean and well-organizer interface that displays all available features and options. While in the upper section, you can specify a few details about the addresses you want to grab, in the lower region, you can preview the list of emails as they are extracted in real time.

The application does not come with too many settings and you can only define a few parameters, namely the folders and fields that you want to extract addresses from. Moreover, you can specify if you prefer not to list duplicate emails and if you want to exclude messages that are no-reply, mailer-daemon or postmaster.

It would have been useful if the application included a more advanced filter option that enabled you to select emails that contain a certain topic or key phrases. This way, you can organize your contacts into folders or categories and make the migration to your new email service smoother.

In the eventuality that you have decided to migrate your email to another service, but not want to lose the contacts in your Yahoo address book. Then Yahoo Email Address Grabber could lend you a hand.
