Extract addresses from mailboxes (MBOX, EML)
Years of correspondence contain thousands of contacts. Export a mailbox and let Mailscoop collect every address in it.

Works with standard exports
Apple Mail (Mailbox › Export Mailbox) and Thunderbird produce MBOX files; many clients save single messages as EML. Mailscoop reads MBOX, MBX, EML and EMLX, headers and body included.
Handles real-world email
Quoted-printable line breaks, encoded @ signs and HTML messages are decoded before extraction, so addresses split across lines are not missed.
Private by design
Mailbox exports are highly sensitive. Mailscoop processes them only on your Mac: no upload, no account, no tracking.
How it works
- Export the mailbox from your email app (MBOX or EML).
- Drop the export — or a ZIP of it — onto Mailscoop.
- Review the list, filter by domain and export.
