#1 Approach – The Manually Extract all Email Addresses from Thunderbird
To find a manual process, we conducted extensive testing and research, and fortunately, we found one that worked. The procedure for extracting email addresses from the Thunderbird folder is here:
- Start the Thunderbird application and navigate to Address Book.
- In the Address Book tab, go to Tools and click on the Export button.
- To save the address book user needs to select CSV – Comma Separate (System Charset).
- Further, choose an appropriate location to store the *.csv files. Press the Save button.
- For the collected Address Book execute Step 3 once again.
