I'm soon changing jobs and wish to email people from my new workplace to let them know of my new contact details. Is there some way for me to download all of the email addresses that I have used during my current employment?

and are any of them owned by your old employer as i dount they'll want you using their emails for someone elses work
Yes; but is there a way of downloading all of the email addresses? There are probably hundreds of them.
you have hundreds of them? i'd just tell them the ones you check the most, no-ones going to want to have to fill in 500 email addresses just on the off chance you'll read them and i know most people wouldn't so its better to have one clear contact point than someone saying i emailed you last week on your y@z.com account and you say oh i aint checked that one for the last few weeks
If so, they need to check their contract - contacting clients within a certain period of leaving may be against the rules.
Quite so.
I've been in my present job for almost five years and constantly exchange emails with hundreds of people. It would be nice to download a list of all email addresses so that I can contact everyone from my new job.
No problem with my contract by the way.
You could also export all the sent items, though that may conflict with data protection rules.
If you only ever reply to emails, so that you never start off an exchange, it may be that your mail client is actually putting the details in a contact list.
I'm not going to assume too much, but I know it isn't looked too well upon if a person takes a companies contacts to another company. I've had contacts with sales reps who have sent me emails from their new company, despite we've never done business with them. Speaking with the company they left, they were not happy at all that this person took their contacts.
