Atomic Email Hunter Software Features

• The Mailbox plugin is excellent at extracting addresses from a user’s current email account. So, if you use this plugin, Atomic Email Hunter will scan all the email messages in the mailbox and extract the email addresses from Gmail, Hotmail, or any other mail service. You set the hunting parameters: You can search only in headers or scan email content, too.


• The Yelp plugin searches emails on www.yelp.com and lets you use Atomic Email Hunter as a Yelp email scraper. All you need to do is enter the search options you want to use.


• The Facebook plugin collects contact information of Facebook page owners (emails, names, job, website link, etc). Moreover, you set up the search criteria, so you will get a list of your target audience and potential clients data.


• The Twitter plugin extracts emails from twitter.com and allows you to specify keywords, country, state, city and job title as a search data.

From the 68 search engines included in Email Hunter, 5 are used for search by default. You can select the ones you want to use in the email harvester. You’ll find them in the “Settings/Search Engines” section. You may select as many as you wish.

This email harvester works in a multithread mode. It can open several pages at one time. For process optimization, select a search type:

• “Fast search” – Extracts fewer emails and works faster


• “Detailed Search” – Extracts more emails and works slower

In either mode, the speed of the search can be increased by setting the number of threads, timeouts, and retry counts you want to use to access the website.

Atomic Email Hunter uses Internet Explorer settings by default and automatically chooses the most appropriate proxy server. We recommend manually specifying a proxy server. For this, you have to enter the proxy address and port number, your login and password. A proxy server is useful when any website blocks an IP address because it has gone over a limited number of access attempts. It also keeps the IP address hidden, making visits to the sites anonymous.

The following advanced harvesting criteria are available:

• Filter by domain. Filtering by domain can limit the domains to search in (URL must contain…), or the domains to ignore (URL must NOT contain…)


• Filter by URL length


• Filter by email address. In “Settings/Common Settings/Email Filters,” you can specify what filters must and must not contain


• Filter by priority links

Atomic Email Hunter also allows you to restrict email harvesting by link length and the total number of email addresses extracted from a single site. You have all the options and filters to create targeted mailing lists that you can use in the future for your purposes.

Before the search process starts, you can set hunting limitations:

• All links
• Current site only
• Current site and subfolders
• Current page only

The program will follow your choice while searching. For example, the program will gather addresses only on the current page or on the entire site.

There are some emails that are positioned as spam traps. When these addresses receive an email, the sender’s email address will be blacklisted. Email harvester does not extract these addresses. Ensure the effectiveness of your future campaigns by activating this option to ignore hidden emails. It is possible to do this in “Settings/Common Settings/Advanced”.

Atomic Email Hunter can harvest emails that are placed in JavaScript. Since this program can work with HTML code and extract emails from it, there’s the ability to optimize the work by using the option to “Parse JavaScript”. You just have to activate this option first, as it’s not set by default. After switching this option on, the program will search and collect addresses that are hidden with the help of JavaScript. In this case, you will get more emails, but the process of extraction will be slower.

If there is a need to speed up the search process, you can skip specific domains. This way, you’ll save time and increase the program’s speed. There are some rules for skipping domains. If no email address is found on the specified webpages of one domain, then it is possible to skip this domain. This feature is useful to help speed up the search process by skipping dead-end email sources.

Some servers allow only a certain number of queries. Atomic Email Hunter offers the possibility of bypassing this number by setting a timeout, which is a time delay between the program’s requests. If a server starts to reject requests, we recommend activating the timeout option. It’s not set by default.

During the search process, you have access to an expanded log. You can view the links of pages that have been scanned, the time spent searching for emails, the number of extracted emails, and the page status. All the results from the Log can be saved to the Clipboard or to a file.

All the partial results are saved automatically. This way, extracted and processed data is guaranteed to be protected. It is a useful option in case of a sudden program crash.

Atomic Email Hunter can export found results into:

• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Excel
• Other Atomic products
• Clipboard
• *.txt or *.csv file
