Email Extractor is a multilanguage utility that is designed to help us extract e-mail addresses from multiples files/websites/documents, etc, although when I tried to drag/drop and extract e-mail addresses from an active webpage, and also from my address book from my online e-mail address, it did not produce any positive results. This extractor worked very well after I dragged/dropped an HTML document, and also a Word file, that contained duplicated e-mail addresses, from my desktop. Both the information displayed and the resulting files were very accurate, and it detected the duplicated addresses. The user interface can be switched into English, Spanish, German, Dutch, French, Italian, and Japanese. There are several disadvantages that makes very difficult to evaluate this program. For example, this program constantly stops working altogether, and this is not due to the lack of memory space because I could go on working with any other applications. There is also a nagging window for 5 seconds on startup. What I found more disturbing was the fact that I had to use the CTRL+ALT+END hot key to terminate the process and exit this program. In addition, the reminder window, which informs us about the trial version limitations, pops up continuously, even though we are far from reaching the limits. The free evaluation version can only extract 100 e-mail addresses.
v3.5.1 [Oct 20, 2010]
Email Address extraction from single web pages - Finally eMail Extractor is able to process web pages. It has been a top requested feature for the last few years however for obvious reasons, it has to be used very carefully. To extract email addresses from a web page you just need to drag and drop the URL from your browser to the eMail Extractor window. The page is then downloaded and processed in the background. For the first URL you are asked for the output file. Then you can drag and drop as many URLs as you find to get them processed and results added to the same file. It is that simple!
Email Address extraction from plain text - the ability to process plain text by drag and drop. You just need to select some text in an application and then drag and drop it to eMail Extractor window. Note that not all the applications will let you drag text though but most text editors will. It works fine for example with BBEdit, TextWrangler, TextEdit, WordPad and Microsoft Word.
Email Address extraction from the Clipboard - For the applications where text drag is not supported just use the clipboard. Select your text, copy it, switch to eMail Extractor and paste. This method is compatible with every single application on your system because all of them give you access to the system clipboard through the 'Edit | Copy' and 'Edit | Paste' menus.
UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS4 encodings support - UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings belong to the Unicode standard. In previous eMail Extractor versions there were no support for such encodings. As a result, a file could not be properly processed and sometimes email extraction were impossible. New eMail Extractor v3 fixes this problem giving full support for the UTF-8, UTF-16 and UCS-4 encodings.
