Using wildcards in Find and Replace to modify an Excel SS

I have a spreadsheet that contains a column of email addresses - almost 8000 of them. 

 

They are in the following formats in the same cells all in one huge column:

 

mailto:ABC_DEF@123.com

mailto:ABC_DEF@123.commailto:ABC.DEF@456.com

 

There an underscore between the firstname_Lastname in the top example. 

Each cell has an 123.com and a @456.com address in it. 

Is it possible to use Find and Replace to just remove the 123.com addresses, or is there another way to get these email addresses separated so I can remove the unwanted items?

 

Thanks in advance!

    If the column doesn't contain a header in its top cell, insert one (e.g. Email).

    Select the column.

    On the Home tab, click Sort & Filter > Filter.

    Click the filter drop-down arrow in the header cell.

    Select Text Filter > Ends with...

    Enter 123.com in the box, then click OK.

    Either select all visible cells, then delete them (choosing Shift cells up), or select all visible rows and delete them.
