CFStringRef value, label;
ABMutableMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
CFIndex count = ABMultiValueGetCount(multi);
if (count == 1)
{
    value = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);
    emailid = (NSString*) value;
    NSLog(@"self.emailID   %@",emailid);
    CFRelease(value);
}
else
{
    for (CFIndex i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        label = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(multi, i);
        value = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, i);

        // check for Work e-mail label
        if (CFStringCompare(label, kABWorkLabel, 0) == 0)
        {
            emailid = (NSString*) value;
            NSLog(@"self.emailID   %@",emailid);
        }
        else if(CFStringCompare(label, kABHomeLabel, 0) == 0)
        {
            emailid = (NSString*) value;
            NSLog(@"self.emailID   %@",emailid);
        }

        CFRelease(label);
        CFRelease(value);
    }
}
CFRelease(multi);
