IrOnMaSk Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 pewww good question... Logically i would think that you could provide access to those accounts in your application to login then check for the email and save them to an array then call the array into the mail function... obviously I DIDN'T test this Or you can ask them if you could use their database that store email address, search address under your account then send mail using those address in database. And I didn't test this either... just brainstorming...

Cagecrawler Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The Google Contacts API is probably what you're looking for with regards to Gmail accounts. The Windows Live API probably has something similar.

You can either use Curl, or you can use the built in API's as mentioned above.

IrOnMaSk Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 hehe looks like it's possible... when you finished that project (if you intend to do it) I would love to use that would be a great tool Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/242576-is-it-possible-with-php/#findComment-1246173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
