Is there a way to download private user emails to a csv format (or any format?)

Hello Andrew.
We found a variant of the solution without the implementation of export. You need to narrow the size of the browser window so that all email addresses are lined up in one column. Then you can copy and paste all email addresses in Word, Excel, Notepad or other editor.

But, moving forward, I do see it helpful to have both an import/export option with a CSV/excel for private forums.
We have implemented export to CSV. 
It contains all email addresses in a single column. 


Also we improved import mode:
Just paste comma or carriage return separated values in textarea and it will be imported.
Already existing addresses will be skipped.

Also, have you thought of an API to work with mail clients like MailChimp, etc.? Or do we have that option? In other words, to draw email data from MailChimp into the private forum?
I was looking for a way to automate the import from mailchimp into UserEcho. But, copy and paste should work fine for now.

While true that I can copy and export, it is still pasted into one excel/spreadsheet block. The email values are not separated and end up being one very long string. I am using Chrome. Do you find that browsers make a difference?
I use FireFox. All works fine. But when I check it in Chrome I have the same problem. We will do export for you.

Regarding MailChimp. Provide your main idea.

1) For example you have list of subscribers in MailChimp and you want to grant access to a private  forum to all of them.

2) You want to add all your UserEcho private forum users to a MailChimp newsletter list.

Or something else?

Or if this looks like very complicated. We can just add small button near email list in the web interface, that will return .CSV list.

I would prefer just a small button to get the .CSV list. We have other staff we want to add that are even less technical than I. Thank you.
