Outlook Imports Email Addresses from Facebook Offers No Takeout

You can easily import Facebook email addresses, birthdays and phone numbers into the userr Outlook address book but there’s no takeout option.

The new Outlook.com web mail service from Microsoft makes it super easy for user to import contact details from Facebook and LinkedIn into userr address book. It imports birthdays, addresses, phone numbers (from LinkedIn) and also the email addresses of userr Facebook friends.
If user haven’t had a chance to try this yet, go to outlook.com and switch to the People tab (see video demo below). Now choose “Add People” from the “Manage” menu and choose Facebook from the list of available options.
Outlook will now import userr Facebook friends details into userr address but this data won’t include their email addresses. Open the “Add People” menu again and now user will see an option to import Facebook email addresses.
Outlook is a one-way street
This is useful because user can export userr Outlook address book as a CSV file and import it into other systems like Gmail but there’s one big limitation.
Outlook will not let user export any data that was auto-imported from a social network network like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. You can see the imported email addresses, phone numbers and birthdays of contacts inside Outlook.com but user can’t take this data out to another service at least yet. If user add any custom data to an auto-imported contact, that data will however be included into the CSV file.
Fortunately, there’s Yahoo! Mail that does allow quick export of Facebook email addresses.
