Extracting emails - User Guide

eMail Extractor allows you to extract email addresses from files and folders, web URLs, plain text drops and from the Clipboard. Let's see detail-fully how to perform each type of extraction:

 From files and folders
There are two ways for processing files and folders. You can drop them to the application icon or launch the application first and drop them to the main window. The only difference between those two methods is that with the first one eMail Extractor quits as soon as it is finished. The files are processed and email addresses extracted following the settings you can optionally change from the preference panel.

 From plain text
Launch eMail Extractor. An extraction window is automatically created. Select the text to process from any application supporting text drags. Drag and drop that text to eMail Extractor. The contents are automatically processed and email addresses are extracted and saved to a file following the settings you can optionally change from the preference panel.

 From the clipboard
Launch eMail Extractor. An extraction window is automatically created. Select and copy some text to the clipboard. Switch to eMail Extractor and paste the text. The content of the clipboard is automatically processed and email addresses are extracted and saved to a file following the settings you can optionally change from the preference panel.
