Find below the function which return only those contact list which contains email address:

/*import email id from the contact list. */

public Vector getEmail()
{

    Vector emailList=new Vector();//contains the list of contact
    email_list.removeAllElements();
    try
    {
        PIM pim = PIM.getInstance();
        ContactList contacts;
        contacts = (ContactList) pim.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY);
        Enumeration items;
        items = contacts.items();

        while(items.hasMoreElements())
        {
            Contact contact = (Contact) items.nextElement();

            String emailID = "";
            if (contacts.isSupportedField(Contact.EMAIL) && (contact.countValues(Contact.EMAIL) > 0) ) 
            {   
                 emailID=contact.getString(Contact.EMAIL, 0);

                //emailList.addElement(arr);
            }
            String firstName = "";
            if ((contacts.isSupportedField(Contact.NAME)) && (contact.countValues(Contact.NAME) > 0))
            {
                String[] name = contact.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
                firstName = name[Contact.NAME_GIVEN];
              //  String lastName = name[Contact.NAME_FAMILY];
            }
            String arr[]={emailID,firstName};//array which contains emailid and first name
            emailList.addElement(arr);

        }
    }
    catch(Exception pe)
    {
    }
    return emailList;
}
