Mar 8, 2015 at 9:17 comment added tinmac Yes agreed but there is one caveat to using contacts over extract tools, you may have messed with your contacts, a lot of us do when we 'tidy up' as the OP suggests as his messages are archived. At this point you are now not sure if you have 'all' your email addresses? I was in this situation and having looked at all answers here the starbanana one was quite simply the most elegant and trustworthy (it uses two step auth and app specific passwords) and a direct connection from my PC to gmail so no man in the middle listening.
