Export Emails
Adds an export emails page that allows you to export the email list of your subscribers and the email list of all the people who left comments. That way you can use a more sophisticated mailing list or auto-responder system to communicate with the people interested in your website.

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.

Works great, thank you

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.)

@Stephan:
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.

I’ve installed the plugin, it shows it is active in my WP Plugin list, but I can’t find anywhere that shows a page like the screenshot above? Does this plugin work on posts made before the plugin was installed?

Thanks Joe and good work !! .

Works! Thank you!

I also love this plugin. It works perfect, but I received a very angry email from someone telling me, that the German law calls it “spamming”. All I did was writing an email telling that I started a new (private) blog 🙂
So at least the Germans should be careful with using it.
Happy New Year!

Just curious, is it possible to add a list for all the people that have used the contact form as well? I use cfroms. Or are these not stored in the db..?

Works! Nice job!
I would like only allow to register e-mail @dominio.com.br?
it´s possible?

It’d be nice to have an option to select the comments by post, then get the emails from that particular post. For instance, I often give away movie tickets to comments on a particular post, but I have no way of getting their emails other than manually going through and getting them.

Hi,
When i use this it only exports the users of wordpress’s emails (which is just myself), and not any emails of my subscribers from mails or from sales.
Do you know what the problem is?
Thanks for your help

Works great… I’m wondering what is the general “value” of these lists – are they generally spam-bots trying to post junk on blogs. Seems like a lot of “machine” names and .ru addresses… anyone have experience with campaign results using lists from their blogs?

Hi, Love the plugin. It’s going to save me hours of manual work. I was wondering if it was possible to export the user names with the emails.

nice plugins. thanks joe.

Joe, this is a great plug-in, easy to use, and solved my problem of how to create a list I could email. Thanks.
December 16th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Just wondering how often it exports the emails and how far back it goes?
February 24th, 2011 at 9:27 am
Hi, I thought this plugin would allow me to export my list of subscribers email addresses (~500). When I installed the plugin and ran it, I could only see the email addresses for the people who were “users” (administratots of the website) and the people who left comments. How do I access the subscibers emails? Thank You.

What about listing the emails like: Joost, John, etc etc…
so you can directly paste it in your BCC if you want.
and…..
What about a selection box for the role you need them to have, I want to send email to all my subscribers only or all the writers etc.
Success,
Joost

Great plugin, easy to use, if you can sort out the latest email on the top, that will be perfect…

Hi Joe,
Will this plugin ever export the subscribers name as well as their email address?
I can’t see the point of emailing my subscribers with out using their names, I’d might as well be spamming them.
