I am sweating since 3 days to import the address book from gmail, yahoo aol and hotmail. The user will login to web app and he will create an event and he should share the event details in the form of HTML mail with his friends, he should able to import contacts from gmail yahoo aol and hotmail and then send the email.Is there any free API available or plug in, its a javascript based web app and I am using servlets and mysql. Should I save all the email addresses in my database before sending the mail?
I tried socialauth, but I am not able to integrate with my web app.
Kindly help me since I am novice to web application development.
It is very much possible to import contacts from gmail, yahoo and hotmail. The privacy restrictions are solved by first redirecting the user to the actual provider, for example the gmail website – and the user authenticates there and is then redirected back to your application. Hence a user NEVER enters his other passwords on your web app.
Do have a look at this demo of socialauth.

If you think this is something what you are trying to do, please feel free to file a specific issue regarding the problem you faced in integrating.
