email address ripping

more options

hello, is there a way to build my address book automatically? problem is that i had problems with a different email program and lost all of my contacts, thus i could not import them into thunderbird. (btw: sooo glad tbird was recently updated)

if i could paint a mental picture for you, is there like a add-on that can go thru all the emails in the inbox and say build a table, like a spreadsheet, whereas the email address's are in a single column. then from there i can import then into the tbird address book or at least i can leave them in spreadsheet format and use them as needed?

incidentally, i use the term "ripping" because i think this is what is referred to when people and companies rip data from the yellow pages and build databases with, ie yellow page ripping.

thanks.

Install the EMAIL ADDRESS CRAWLER add-on (how to install add-ons) to scan any mail folder for addresses, and have them placed in a TB address book.

Clearly, you are a genius !

Mozilla should put links to sites like yours on its add-on pages because it would of saved me much time from spinning my wheels on its fancy add in site.

Thank you !

ps: it might be a good idea to insert into the description of the add-on with "right click on the inbox to initialize my crawler add-in"
