How to Download Export Email addresses Of All Facebook Friends In a Zip File

You might want to download your Facebook Friend's Email addresses for different purposes. For instance, you create an account on any social networking website and you also want to invite your Facebook friends, but the site doesn't support direct Facebook connection to invite them to join you on that site, then what would you do. In Twitter and LinkedIn, you cannot send invitation to your Facebook friends to join you on Twitter or LinkedIn.

But, almost all social networking sites such as- Twitter etc. and business networking sites such as- LinkedIn etc. have option to import your contacts from your Email account. So, if you want to invite your Facebook friends to these sites, first you need to have their Email addresses in your Email account's contacts list, you will not be able to do it. Facebook doesn’t permit you to do it because you have access just to your personal data in Facebook, and you are not allowed to see your friends’ private data.

Facebook follows several rules. One of them is that every person manages his information by him/herself only. You can have a big friends list anyway you cannot see the private information of anybody. It is made to prevent mass export of private emails and photo albums.
By the way Facebook already makes mass exporting of friends’ emails possible while using Microsoft, Yahoo and possibly other partners. It became easy. And probably Facebook should improve their Privacy Policy.
Anyway if you still need to download email addresses from, just follow these simple steps you can easily download/save all your Facebook friends' Email addresses:

1. Go to address.yahoo.com Sign-in with your Yahoo ID. You can also sign into Yahoo with your Google or Facebook ID, if you don't have a Yahoo ID.

4. It opens a F-connect pop-up window. Sign into your Facebook account.

5. Facebook will ask you to share your contacts with Yahoo, Click on the "Okay" button.


6. Yahoo will start adding your Facebook contacts to your Yahoo Address Book.


That's all. Now all Facebook contacts will be added to your Yahoo Address Book.

Now, you can download all these contacts as a CSV file, Single vCard, vCard Zip file, Microsoft Outlook supported file or Mozilla Thunderbird supported file. CSV file is supported by most of Email service providers such as-Gmail. Now, you can download all your Facebook friends' Email addresses as a CSV (comma-separated values) file.
