Hi

First, select "FROM table1, table2" if you want to do a join.
Then your where close will not work with "<>" (I think).

try something like :

insert into table1 select distinct email from table2

which will do exactly what you want.

Remember to check the mysql doc (references) to learn how to use SQL.
