Hi, Thank you for your reply. I am basically trying to run a site where users can add their existing friends from msn messenger/yahoo messenger. So that is the reason why I want to extract the email ids from these 2 protocols. I tried the POE component MSN, it dint seem to work. All I want is to accept username and password then simply get the email ids from the protocol. If you can tell me the code using module also, I do not mind. I do not mind installing any module available. Thank you very much, Anant
