Export "suggested" email contacts from iMail or any other 3rd party email client (alien.top)

Title says most of it... but looking to export every contact email I ever contacted from iMail (Mac OS).

ie: when I create a new message, all the suggested emails that come up on "To:" - can I export this? I looked endlessly online to no avail.

found this thread: https://superuser.com/questions/1608680/export-email-from-addresses-from-imap-server-as-csv

I tried it but then I realized it wouldn't export just the contact, it would export each email individually...

Any ideas?

TIA

If you can use an email program to access your email, you can download all your emails, export them to files on your HDD, then have a python script go through them and save all the "from" and "to" email addresses to a csv file. Should be pretty simple.
