I don’t recall the reason my client asked for all of the emails in one file — I’ve sent him an email asking for details.

However, I believe it was so he could build a suppression list for some of his JV partners to use when mailing their own lists with his offer — or something along those lines.

Also, just recently someone asked for a way to get a count of how many unique emails they had in all their lists.

Since a single email can be subscribed to several different lists, the only way to get a “unique emails” count (as far as I know) is to combine all of the lists into one single list and remove the duplicates — that’s why I included the “emails only” feature in the extraction software.

When I hear back from my client, I’ll update this post IF their purpose was something other than building a supression list.

Best,

Very interesting tool. I’m curious though, why would you need to do
anything with the backup data unless there was a problem with your
account? Understanding how customers interact with their accounts
is a big part of how we make improvements. I have to be honest,
I don’t understand for what purpose you would regularly want all the
subscribers in one file to the point where developing an application
to do that was necessary.

Enlighten me.
