Export Bluebottle.com contact list as CSV
Bluebottle.com has decided to stop its freemail service June 20 2008 onwards. This was notified to its freemail users only on June 12 2008, leaving them with barely 8 days if they decided not to upgrade. I too am a freemail user. Am I not sure if I will be able to pay them, not because that its too expensive, but because I don’t have a credit card or a debit card. While I am looking if any of friends has it, but in case I don’t find one, I am exporting my contact list as CSV. Bluebottle does not offer any such option, hence I decided to write a script to ease other distressed users.
If you want to export your contact list in CSV, please use this tool.
I have tried this and it works!
Using Firefox you might not get a “View Source” option when you right click. In that case press Ctrl-U to view the source.

Does NOT work for me, sorry!
Tried it 3 times (OSX-Tiger) and the ONLY text( in the csv) I got was ” Name” and ” Email”.
No source or ( real)csv was produced( though I followed the directions to the letter…)
Too bad, now that time is running out…, TNX 4 da try!

Thanks to the author of the program.
Worked flawlessly and didn’t charge a dime.
That’s a TOB - thing of beauty.

I cannot get this to work. I followed the procedure but obviously I’m doing something wrong. All I get is a lot of script but I don’t see any way to save it.
Any help is appreciated. Also, how do you d/l your emails (as BB suggests doing)?

Thanks so much for this. I wish I had found it before I took the time to cherry pick through my addresses to make my own cvs file. Now I have them all though!

You don’t need to save the script. Just select it all, copy, and paste it into the tool’s form. On Windows systems, that’s three keystrokes: Ctrl-A (select all), Ctrl-C (copy), Ctrl-V (paste).

^ Are you sure you followed all the steps correctly? I remember one of the users above who complained above that the tool does not work had actuallt forgotted to press that ‘Export as CSV’ button. It obviously won’t work if thats the case.
Anywayz, please post the screenshot of the ’script’ you could see.

Hi Rohan,
As reported before, I DID follow the procedure ánd DID press the button, but: the first tool only gave 2 words “NAME & EMAIL” as result, the second tool( the alternative you sent me) the ‘Export as CSV’ button WAS pressed, but FAILED to work!
So there is no way to check if the alternative works, because the BUTTON does NOT work.
As reported before: have tried it in Safari 3.1.1, SeaMonkey 1.1.9, Camino 1.6Int. & Firefox 2.0.0.7, all in combination with Mac G4, OSX 10.4.11

Further to my last comment, I’ve found a bug: If the same name appears with two different email addresses, only one of them is included in your output. I’ve examined Bluebottle’s source code that is pasted into your window, and all the addresses are there. Perhaps you deliberately remove duplicates - but there are several cases where the same person might have more than one email address.
Your program also pulls out domain names (good), but again only if they don’t have the same associated name as an email address.
Overall - thanks for providing this useful feature.

^Hi Steve,
I can confirm the bug. Yes, it does does happen. It is not deliberately done. But I see why it happens that way.
Thank you for pointing out that bug.
