What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

If I estimated correctly, I either about to hit 20 million emails or already passed it. What do I do with it lol? Cold emailing is pretty hard these days. Thank you paypal and ebay

Nothing to do about it?

Plug them into mailchimp and send your former customers christmas cards in december.

Other than that, no point, lol.

What type of product(s) did you sell to these customers? You can always open your own site and use Google ads and Facebook marketing (depending on the product(s)) and use their emails to either re-target, or find new customers based on similarities

I've been harvesting emails since I started selling just like OP has apparently been doing, but in all honesty, I doubt I'll ever do anything with them. The chances of me somehow getting a sale by cold sending spam emails to thousands of customers I've sold to over the years has to be pretty low. I haven't clicked a spam email since 2001 and most other people are probably the same, right?

Is there a way of easily extracting all of these emails out of gmail without manually going into each email ?

I have tens of thousands of emails as well and I have been looking in to creating an instagram account with my products and would love to send all of these old customers a message to like, follow me ... and ufcourse buy again ! the instagram route would keep my paypal active while my ebay is managed payments at the end of the month ...

haha not a bad idea :D
You can try to run some email campaigns if you have good email servers (I 'm not talking about Mailchimp). I'm taking about robust hosted solution.

Love to findout the solution to get email address out of gmail any Solution? Going into one by one is not possible must be something out there?

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

That's what I was thinking too. Mailchimp will hit spam for sure.

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

It's in my spam folder for a reason lol

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

Good Idea.

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

vbscript can do it. I'm not very smart but I could whip something up that would at least pull 1 page at a time worth of email addresses from gmail...

I'll try later if I get time.

I try to hire someone on fivver see how it goes

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

How about mailing a coupon or business card (Website included) to all customers who purchased $100+ ? Stamps.com and shipstation keep addresses too. 100 people = $55 , if just one reorders you're good to go.

LOL I use to sell VERO and luckily had 8-10 emails from customers that I "harvested" from Paypal. Have made a couple of thousand dollars emailing them asking if they needed any of the "VERO" stuff. Every month or so they email me back wanting something. Since I cannot post these items to me it is like free money.

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

Simple solution. Delete that email acct. LOL, start a new one. Problem solved. Just forward any current emails you want to keep to new acct to have record of theirs.

Re: What do I do with 20 million emails?
 

That's not a solution for what he was wanting to do. He's looking for a way to automatically scrape email addresses from thousands of gmail emails, so they could be nice and organized in one place.

Forwarding all your emails to a new gmail account would just transfer all your customer emails to a different gmail account where they would still need to be scraped in order to be useful.
