Regardless of the reasons why you decided that it might be time to trade Hotmail for another email service, one of the things to account for is your contacts. Hotmail Email Address Grabber is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to extract the email addresses of the contacts you are keeping in touch.

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you come face to face with a minimalistic and rugged interface. Nevertheless, the UI is intuitive and easy to navigate, so it is very unlikely that you are going to have any troubles getting around.

As far as the functionality is concerned, things are as simple as they look. To be more precise, you can provide your login credentials and specify the locations that the app should grab the addresses and the messages that can be ignored before you can hit the dedicated extract button. The operation is automatic and does not require any further configuration.

You should know that the program comes with few settings that allow you to narrow the operation. Simply put, you can set the app to skip duplicate emails, exclude no-reply and similar emails and specify the folder and field that it should grab the addresses from. It would have been nice if the app included an advanced filter option that can help you find the exact messages or domains you are interested in.

Then again, let us not forget that Hotmail still includes Personal Folders, an option that allows you to group your messages by type so that you can search for related emails whenever required. Therefore, if you have used the feature over the years, it would be a lot simpler to extract the addresses you need from the dedicated folder.

All in all, Hotmail Email Address Grabber is a reliable piece of software that allows you to extract the contact addresses of your Hotmail contacts so that you can continue to exchange messages with them from your new email client.
