Hi tomasz,

We are checking on this. Lately the messenger connect API is no longer 
providing the email address - but other details should be available.

Stay tuned - we will get back tomorrow.

Warm regards,

Hi

As we know messenger connect API is no longer providing the email address. SO 
it is not available in our API but other details like first name,last name and 
id are available.

It looks like microsoft released v 5 of the messenger connect api.  Any plans 
to support it?

Thanks.

Sure will. In the next version, we will create orkut provider and version 5 of 
messenger connect. If you happen to write a provider, we would gladly 
incorporate it as your contribution.

Warm regards,

As per this document: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/hh278351

You can have only emails of contacts that are already in your database. This 
means that Microsoft whats you to calculate hashes for all of your email 
addresses in your websites database. Than once you do the contact import you 
compare your hashes with the hashes they gave you in the response and retrieve 
FROM YOUR DATABASE the emails that had matching hashes:

Here is original text:
For your website to participate in this scenario, you must create a hash of 
each email address that belongs to each registered user of your website. Each 
of these hashes must follow a specific format that the Live Connect APIs 
recognize. After you have created a hash for each of your registered users' 
email addresses, you can compare your list of hashes with the list of 
email-address hashes that Live Connect generates for the visiting user's 
contacts. Each matching hash represents a registered user of your website who 
is also one of the visiting user's contacts.

The only way to bypass that as far as I can tall is to do website scraping or 
to figure out how to trigger automatic contact export and just process the 
exported file.

Its clear that Hotmail doesn't provide email address. So closing this issue.
