Gmail – How to Extract Email Addresses from Received Messages

exportgmailgoogle-contacts

How can I export a list containing e-mail addresses for everyone that has sent me an e-mail? I have all of the messages archived.

I am quite surprised by all the complicated answers implying some extra tools! Every email you receive has its address added to "All contacts" (as opposed to "My Contacts") in the Contacts part of Gmail. Export that one and you're done (or I missed something in your question).

You can use Gmail search options. In the search box, ask for something like:

from:(firstmailaddress@gmail.com OR secondmailadress@gmail.com)

You would need to write some sort of regex to extract that string from the message.

var threads = GmailApp.getInboxThreads();

for (var t in threads) {

  var messages = threads[t].getMessages[];
  var text = messages[0].getPlainBody();

  var matches = /From:(.*?)<(.*?)>/gi.exec(text);
  if (matches) 
      Logger.log(matches[1] + " :: " + matches[2]);

}
