get database out of outlook express fooder

I have winXPpro. I use Outlook Express 6. I have a bunch of email messages that went to a specific folder in my oe. Now I need to get the email addresses for these messages. I can't do it manually. There are a lot of them.

How can I get a list or database that would have the email addresses?

thanks , frank

 

no idea

but what u can do is look in that specified folder.dbx file which u may find in

C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{some-random-numer}\Microsoft\Outlook Express and try to extract the emails from that file using some email extractor aps or using some script

 

OK, what is a good mail reader program. I have tried Mailview. It gets the emails OK but puts them on one line along with the display name and no delimter between (for example,

=
=
=
=

so I can't use themor clean them up. Any ideas?

thanks, Frank

 

as its format is some what unknown its some what manual work

extract all lines containing @ and make a db

in that d u may look 2 @s and divide that string and u will get the email . not sure how to process .dbx files

 

Chandan,

Thanks, I get the idea but i also do not know how to work it.

For example with a page full of lines like the following (results of Milaview program - see beginning of thread)





I would like to do a "replace" operation like the following:
Replace @+unknown amount of digits or characters+@ with @

That would strip off "@GMAIL.COM247LIBZA" and leave me with the cleaned up email I need, namely . A replace operation like this would clean up the whole file of 500 client's emails I have. Thanks for the idea Chandan.

Now how do I run the replace operation in any commonly known program, such as Txt, MSWord, excel or Access?

best wishes, Frank
