Frequently Asked Questions
- Why not exporting the email lists as files?
-
The very first implementation of this plugin was actually creating files for download. While it’s a very convenient solution, there are security and privacy issues with it. The simple fact of having, even momentarily, a file on your server that contain the email addresses of all your subscribers is a significant risk. Because of that, it was decided against using downloadable files.

There is only a list of eAddies, no other data, no instructions, no button, which left me feeling lost about what to do with it but could envision many hours of work ahead, which I had expected this plugin would eliminate.
Installed 2nd time, will be uninstalling again, no more.

@Dean Striker:
I’m not sure that I understand what your expectation are. I would appreciate if you could explain. I’ll contact you by email to find out.

Useful. You might want to add an option to exclude emails marked as spam. (I know that deleting all spam first would excluded them anyway.)

Thank you for the suggestion. That will be in the next version.

i’m having the same problem as dean striker. But the screenshot posted here looks a lot like what I have installed. I just don’t see where the button is to actually export the emails.

@jon:
You have to copy and paste the emails. I didn’t put a button to download emails as a file as there are significant security risks in having a file with all the emails sitting on the server (see the FAQ). As it seems to be confusing for some user, I’ll investigate if there’s a way to generate a file on the fly.
