I'm trying to convert friend pages into fan pages (most businesses have created friend pages by mistake) and am trying to email everyone on a friend list about the move.

I've tried

  1. FQL "SELECT email FROM user WHERE uid=xxxx"
  2. Creating groups (not good for 5000 friend pages)
  3. Restfb: Connection myFriends = facebookClient.fetchConnection("me/friends", User.class) etc;

The FQL and RestFB methods are both returning nada, group email method is just plain messy.

Is this a security feature or can this data ever by returned for my purpose?

Cheers
