3 Pinterest Security Issues, and What You Can Do About Them


Pinterest may not be as big as Facebook or YouTube, but as social networks go, it has proved lucrative for scammers. Several security issues exist, and while things are better than they were — scammers at one point generated over $1,000 a day — Pinterest is far from perfect. But because Pinterest doesn’t look or feel like a social network, scammers seem to be able to get away with more. It’s tougher to spot something suspicious. Even if you genuinely know how to use Pinterest, you can still be dragged into someone’s scam. While Pinterest remains fun to use, the...

Apple Kills the iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle


The iPod is no more, with Apple discontinuing both the Nano and Shuffle. That leaves the iPod Touch as the only Apple device now sporting the iPod name.

The Easiest Way to Extract Email Addresses from your Gmail Account


Introducing Gmail Address Extractor, a web app that parses email messages in your Gmail mailbox, finds all the email addresses in them and stores the list in a Google Sheet. You can export the sheet as a CSV file and import into Google Contacts, Outlook address book, MailChimp, or any other mailing list software.

The online extractor app can find email addresses that are contained in the message body, the email signature, the subject line and the FROM, TO, CC, BCC & Reply-To fields of the email message. The app cannot, however, extract emails from file attachments.

gmail address extractor

Getting started is easy and requires no software installation. Just go to emailextract.pro and sign-in with your Gmail or Google Inbox account. You can also sign with your G Suite (Google Apps) account.

The app can pull email addresses from any label in your Gmail account or you can specify advanced search criteria and email addresses would only be extracted from the matching email threads. For instance, you could set the advanced search rule as from:paypal newer_than:7d and only PayPal emails received in the last week will be processed.

You can extract email addresses from messages that come via form submissions, email addresses of customers that are found inside the PayPal and Stripe receipts, email addresses of your newsletter subscribers and so on.

If you would like to extract email addresses from all Gmail folders in one go, choose “Anywhere” in the label drop-down.

After you’ve specified the search criteria, you need to select the email fields for extraction and the destination Google Sheet where the email addresses would be saved. The sheet will automatically remove any duplicate email addresses that it may encounter during the extraction.

Once the email addresses are in the Google Sheet, you can use filters inside sheets to exclude addresses from certain domains.

Email Extractor runs locally in your browser and not a byte of your email data is shared or uploaded anywhere. It does require a one-time authorization to various Google services since the app needs to read Gmail messages and save the list in a Google sheet in your Google Drive. You can read the app’s privacy policy to learn more.

The extractor app is completely free for lite users if you need to process less than 300 email messages. For large mailboxes, the pricing is $29 USD and you can process an unlimited number of email threads with the paid edition.

The app is also available as a Gmail addon in the Google Store. It works with Gmail only but if you can import your Yahoo or Outlook email message into Gmail, the addon can process them as well.

The Ultimate Netflix Guide: Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Netflix


In 2017, one year shy of its 20th anniversary, Netflix announced that it had passed a new milestone: Netflix now has 100 million subscribers. Those are worldwide numbers. When we look at it by country, we see that only half of them are U.S. users.

Every Programmer Who Uses OneNote Needs This Add-On ASAP


OneNote is a fantastic note-taking app, and it’s totally free unlike Evernote. While OneNote works great for simple text notes, it gets way better when you start embedding media and using advanced features. But there’s one group of people that OneNote might frustrate: programmers. Having one place to assemble all your notes on new techniques, optimization, to-do lists, etc. is great, but what if you want to jot down bits of code? Without proper formatting and syntax highlight, it can be quite the mess. That’s where GitHub user elvirbrk’s NoteHighlight2016 comes in. Available as a free add-on for OneNote, it...

What to Do When Google Prevents Sign-In Access to Third-Party Apps


About three years back, Google put a bigger lock on its doors and improved sign-in security access for all of its services. That lock was (and is) OAuth 2.0, which is very specific about which third-party apps it allows access to. Think of this protocol as a big burly bouncer guarding the smarts of a computer. Only with its say-so can you share information from your Google account with third-party applications or websites. That’s why when you try to sign in to a Google tool with any other app (e.g. a mail app on your phone or an RSS reader), you get...
