How to Export Email IDs from Zoho Mail When Export Limits and Filters are Restricted
Zoho Mail is a powerful and versatile email service used by many professionals and businesses. However, like any tool, it comes with certain limitations that can sometimes hinder productivity. One such limitation is the export limit on email IDs, which is capped at 200. Additionally, Zoho Mail’s lack of filter options during export can make the process cumbersome, especially when you need to extract a larger number of contacts.
In this blog, we’ll explore a workaround using a Chrome extension called Email Extractor offered by Unified Address Book. This solution allows you to bypass the 200-contact export limit and extract all your email IDs efficiently. Let’s dive into the step-by-step process.
Why Exporting Email IDs from Zoho Mail Can Be Challenging
Exporting email contacts is a common task, especially for businesses looking to migrate data or integrate contacts into marketing platforms. However, Zoho Mail’s built-in export feature has some limitations:
- Export Limit: Zoho Mail restricts the number of email contacts you can export at once to 200. This can be problematic if you have a large contact list.
- No Filter Options: Zoho Mail does not provide advanced filtering options during export, making it difficult to segment or target specific contacts.
- Manual Process: The process of exporting contacts can become tedious and time-consuming, especially if you need to export more than 200 contacts.
Fortunately, there’s a simple and effective solution that leverages a Chrome extension to get around these limitations.
Solution: Using Email Extractor by Unified Address Book
The Email Extractor extension is a handy tool that allows you to automatically gather and export email addresses from web pages. When used with Zoho Mail, it enables you to extract and export all your email contacts, bypassing the 200-contact limit. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Login to Zoho Mail via Chrome
The first step is to log in to the Zoho Mail account from which you want to export email IDs. This process should be done on the Google Chrome browser, as the solution requires a Chrome-specific extension.
