findemailaddrs

version 0.0.5 : 08 November 2023

Find email files on disk (by default .eml files) and parse each to extract the sender, to and cc addresses then save these to a tab separated value (tsv) file removing duplicates.

Release v0.0.5 uses goroutines for much faster processing of files.

Example

./findemailaddrs -d <directory> -o <output> [-v] [-s ".ext"]

Look for files with the default ".eml" suffix or that optionally provided
with the "-s" flag in the directory rooted at <directory> and extract
the email addresses and associated names (where available) to <output>
in tab separated format.

Provide the -v flag for verbose output.

Options:
  -d string
    	path to directory to start eml file search
  -o string
    	file to save output
  -s string
    	file suffix to search for (default ".eml")
  -v	verbose

Example output with the -v flag:

./findemailaddrs -v -d /vols/archive -o report.tsv
