The README at https://github.com/Diego81/omnicontacts says: ===8<---cut here--- Hotmail presents a "peculiar" feature. Their API returns a Contact object which does not contain an e-mail field! However, if the contact has either name, family name or both set to null, than there is a field called name which does contain the e-mail address. This means that it may happen that an Hotmail contact does not contain the email field. ===8<---cut here--- Also, at least as of early 2013, Hotmail didn't let you retrieve your contacts' email addresses, UNLESS said contact was a Hotmail user too, AND had specifically approved the app in question to see their address. They may have loosened that up since then, but I wouldn't count on it. -Dave (who has contributed code to Omnicontacts) -- Dave Aronson, the T.
