Can I email every member of my Circle community?

Community notifications are part of membership; a marketing email from another tool needs their agreement to that kind of email. The marketing preference column is the best signal in the export.

Does it include invited people who never joined?

If they are in the file, yes. Circle's export has a Member (Yes or No) column and an invitation status; filter to members in Circle before exporting if you only want them.

No. It is read in your browser. Nothing is sent unless you choose to check the addresses afterwards.

What's in Circle's member export?

Circle's help lists first and last name, email, join date, tags, profile fields, last active date, activity counts, whether the person is a member, invitation status and their email marketing preference (subscribed or unsubscribed). The marketing preference is what decides who you can send a newsletter or launch email to from another tool.

Members who unsubscribed are set aside by default. Tick "keep only subscribed" to also set aside anyone with no preference. Tags from repeated rows are combined so you can rebuild segments.

A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.

Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
