The README at https://github.com/Diego81/omnicontacts says:

===8<---cut here---

Hotmail presents a "peculiar" feature. Their API returns a Contact
object which does not contain an e-mail field! However, if the contact
has either name, family name or both set to null, than there is a
field called name which does contain the e-mail address. This means
that it may happen that an Hotmail contact does not contain the email
field.

===8<---cut here---

Also, at least as of early 2013, Hotmail didn''t let you retrieve your
contacts'' email addresses, UNLESS said contact was a Hotmail user too,
AND had specifically approved the app in question to see their
address.  They may have loosened that up since then, but I wouldn''t
count on it.
