I have a lot of email imported in my mail boxes in Thunderbird. I would like to extract all email addresses from them (to, from, cc, bcc) and create a file that I can then import again in Thunderbird contacts. I've searched for quite some time now but I cannot find a way to make this work. I'm using Thunderbird 60.0 (32-bits) so unfortunately some of the add-on's I found do not work anymore.

Any help, suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Email Address Crawler is working here in TB 60, but you may have to first switch the preference extensions.strictCompatibility to false to get it to install (Tools/Options/Advanced/General/Config. editor, double-click the preference to toggle its value). To install, drag the Download link and drop it onto Tools/Add-ons/Extensions in TB. Right-click a folder to show the window as in the attached picture. You can select an address book as the target of the collected addresses.
