I believe there is a free class for yahoo on www.phpclasses.org BUT why FREE? why don't you do it yourself?

it isn't a rocket science really.. very easy... follow the following steps

1 - get a HTTP sniffer e.g FireFox LiveHTTPHeader plugin / component. this will help you to read the headers of the websites e.g gmail that what values are sent to which pages and scripts while logging in and getting to the addressbook page

2 - write an artificial code to do what gmail site does, remember http sniffing, using PHP-cURL

3 - once you are succeeded to get to the address book page of gmail, for our current example, then store that output in a variable and use regex to fetch out emails and names of the contacts

4 - make arrays of both names and emails

5 - use arrays functions to display them on the page do whatever you want with that info

to get a Free code won't help much as all services keep changing their process flow to get to the address book and your script will go down so sooner or later you would have to jump in yourself to do it so why not SOONER?
