Hi

I need to mark certain emails in my inbox and send the email addresses to my address book. I used to use the email crawler add-on to do this but it is out of date. Is there an alternative that works with latest version of TB?

thanks

The Email Address Crawler add-on still works in TB 60 if you first open Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor and double-click the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to false, OK to close Options. This will allow the add-on to be re-enabled if already installed, or allow the installation.

Thanks for your reply. I've located the most recent version, but don't know how to install it from outside of TB. I've downloaded the add-on, how do I install it to TB?

I went to the link you provided, downloaded the add-on, and tried to install but got an error message from TB (see attached image).
