Just wondering if any one has been able to come up with a solution to
access Hotmail / Gmail / Yahoo address books via their ROR app?
Thanks for any tips/guidance you can provide.
Frank
I think these companies would have to release an API for you to be
able to do it and I don’t think any of them have an API for their
services… double check though.
I would assume if you did anything hack like it could break whenever
the respective companies did not like what you were doing.
I am not trying to be negative. 
Are you looking to always access
this information or is it a one time thing? What exactly are you
trying to do?
Software engineer from where? What school?
