how to import hotmail/yahoo/aol address book
|
|
|
| I am writing a web app in C# and need to know if it is possible to
login to hotmail using a users email and and password and somehow read
their address book. We would like to all a user to import their hotmail
address book to our app and I have seen it done before but have found
no documentation or hints on how to do this on the interent. Any help
would be great.
We would also like to do this with yahoo and possibly aol, so any help
there would be amazing too.

Hey guys I solved this problem earlier this year using Java and apache Jakarta's HTTPClient API. It can be done, but it's a pain because you have to programmatically request the form to login, then parse the form because both Yahoo and Hotmail include hidden fields when submitting in a login form.
After much work to get it up and running, Yahoo changed the form on me! So all of my code went to waste.
It's a shame... if possible I'd say let your management know that you could get it working, but even if you did it could break at any time if yahoo or hotmail decide to change their form.
good luck, and keep your fingers crossed that either house releases a public API. | |

| But all these sites are either paid or a trial site. Is anyone has any idea how we can do it via coading and connect to the port of MSN.Yahoo.AOL
Either via socket or xmlhttp or any other methods are there.

Hello,
I was wondering if you ever recieved an answer for this. I am in the same situation. I am not interested in paid solutions, there has to be a bit code snippet out there which shows you what API's are used in order to import the address book to another application. | |
