How to impirt contacts from mail id to local storage

To import contacts from an email address to local storage, you'll need to use a combination of APIs and programming languages. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Step 1: Choose an email provider

Select an email provider that allows you to export contacts in a standard format, such as CSV or VCF. Some popular email providers that support contact export include:

Gmail
Outlook
Yahoo Mail
AOL Mail

Step 2: Export contacts from email provider

Follow these steps to export contacts from your chosen email provider:

Gmail: Go to Settings > Accounts and Import > Export data. Select "Contacts" and choose a file format (e.g., CSV).
Outlook: Go to Settings > View all Outlook settings > Mail > Contacts > Export contacts. Choose a file format (e.g., CSV).
Yahoo Mail: Go to Settings > Accounts > Contacts > Export contacts. Choose a file format (e.g., CSV).
AOL Mail: Go to Settings > Mail > Contacts > Export contacts. Choose a file format (e.g., CSV).

Step 3: Parse the exported contacts file

Use a programming language like Python, JavaScript, or Java to parse the exported contacts file. You can use libraries like:

Python: csv module or vobject library
JavaScript: papaparse library or csv-parser library
Java: OpenCSV library or Apache Commons CSV library

Here's an example Python code snippet using the csv module:

import csv

with open('contacts.csv', 'r') as csvfile:
    reader = csv.DictReader(csvfile)
    for row in reader:
        name = row['Name']
        email = row['Email']
        phone = row['Phone']
        # Add contact to local storage
        #...

Step 4: Add contacts to local storage

Use a local storage solution like a database (e.g., SQLite, MySQL) or a contact management library (e.g., contacts library in Python) to store the imported contacts. You can also use a cloud-based contact management service like Google Contacts or Microsoft Contacts.

Here's an example Python code snippet using the contacts library:

import contacts

# Create a new contact
contact = contacts.Contact(name, email, phone)

# Add the contact to the local storage
contacts.add_contact(contact)

Step 5: Integrate with your application

Integrate the contact import functionality with your application. You can create a button or menu item that triggers the contact import process. When the user clicks the button, your application will export contacts from the email provider, parse the file, and add the contacts to local storage.

Here's an example Python code snippet that integrates the contact import functionality with a GUI application:

import tkinter as tk

class ContactImporter:
    def __init__(self):
        self.root = tk.Tk()
        self.root.title("Contact Importer")

        self.email_label = tk.Label(self.root, text="Email:")
        self.email_label.pack()
        self.email_entry = tk.Entry(self.root)
        self.email_entry.pack()

        self.import_button = tk.Button(self.root, text="Import Contacts", command=self.import_contacts)
        self.import_button.pack()

    def import_contacts(self):
        # Get the email address from the entry field
        email = self.email_entry.get()

        # Export contacts from the email provider
        #...

        # Parse the exported contacts file
        #...

        # Add contacts to local storage
        #...

    def run(self):
        self.root.mainloop()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    importer = ContactImporter()
    importer.run()

This is a basic outline of the process. You'll need to modify the code to fit your specific requirements and integrate it with your application.
