Thankfully, this is not possible for privacy reasons. You can only get the email of the authorized user with the email permission.

Currently I have an email but I can't find the uid of that facebook . So how can I find that facebook uid via email?
Thanks for your replies
The only way to match users to an email is to authorize them with the email permission and check if it is the same one. There is no way to get or validate any user info without authorization.
Initially, we have enabled FB login to one of our iOS app. At that time, we were only storing Facebook unique number in our database for user's unique identification purpose. Now that our customer is asking us to enable Google Login, since we didn't store user's email address at the time of their login, it became tricky for us authenticate existing FB users if at all if they want to use Google login. Consider, user is using google email as their FB login. Now we need your help in getting user's email id by using FB unique number which we already have it in our db. Your help in this regard would be highly appreciable. Thanks in advance.
There is no way to get the email of a user on Facebook, unless he specifically authorized your App with the email permission.
I prompted for the "email" permission in my Facebook application. However, when I access the graph api of the user, there is no field called "email" available even though I know they have an email on Facebook. Why?
As far as I know based on my experience with their API, Facebook does not offer access to the messaging framework, therefore you are not allowed to send messages on a user's behalf.
Is this for a test user where you know they accepted the permissions prompt and have an email?
How are you trying to get the email? I get them via FQL:
SELECT first_name, last_name, email from user where uid = {userid}
I am developing an iPhone application that will send email to a logged in user friends'. I am using FacebookConnect for the same. The problem is I am getting the uid of all friends but what is the way to send email to these uids(friends UID).
Also I m not able to get the email id of any of the facebook friends.Can I get the emails of the users facebook friends in my iPhone App ?
Please help me out
Thanks
I don't think you can get email of friends. Although you can send an email to uids provided they have granted permission to you app.
A comma-separated list of recipient user IDs. The recipients must be people who have already authorized your application. You can email up to 100 people at a time.
Beyond general information you are require extended permissions which requires authentication (which you are using). Any extended permission works only with the user who has granted it to. So your app's user's friends will have to grant the permission to email before you can send them one. In other words, you can send a notification email to those friends of your user who have added your app and have granted you the permission to email. Facebook has this page on communicating via email.
I want users to able to sign up in my application(rails) using facebook connect.
However I am not very sure what all information of the user will be available ,specifically the email of the user. I know that the emails of the user's friends are not available, but not sure if the email of the user himself is available.
You can prompt the user for email extended permission.
