how can I extract/harvest/export all sender addresses from outlook 2003?

4

I'd like to build a list of all the people who email me but can't figure out a way of doing it.

Tools such as Xobni offer a list, but it is not possible to select the data from the 'analytics'.

How can I harvest this data?

EDIT: Needs to be recursive from root inbox folder

Not a duplicate: the question asks for a solution that works recursively, but the cited question is about mail in a single folder, and the CodeTwo utility mentioned in its accepted answer only exports the contents of a single folder and not child folders.

Export your inbox as a csv file. Just before the export happens there will be a field chooser button (sorry can't remember the name). Inside there make sure only the "to" email address is selected.

End result will be a file that you can manipulate in Excel. You'll need to remove the duplicates but that can be handy to work out who emails you the most (and least).

1This doesn't work recursively, which the OP asked for. It only exports mail from the selected folder itself, not child folders. – Reg Edit – 2015-03-22T11:31:25.820

It's easy with free OutlookFreeware.com Save One Header utility. It will dump all required addresses to a flat text file. In order to find required header name (for sender) run Save All Headers tool (also freeware). I'm one of developers of both tools. I already posted it here, this is actually a good solution and still no good answers. Using a third-party tool is a way to go.
