This isn’t a C&D
Hi <redacted>,
I’m Angus Logan and I work for the Windows Live Platform team.
When I was using <redacted> I saw you were screen-scraping Hotmail and Gmail and lots of other places.
Did you know we have a Contact API which provides you richer information, is much more secure for the end user and is less effort for you? See http://dev.live.com/contacts
One more thing – even though you tell people you won’t be storing their password, any proxy server or device on the network along the way could pull the password as you aren’t using SSL which puts our joint user base at a much higher risk :(
I believe there are safer, more secure and less effort ways to access this information – http://dev.live.com/contacts
Please ping me if you have any questions.
thx
