There is no standard way to do what you ask.  The email address is not
stored by the OS anywhere, and any email program(s) that the user may be
using will store the email address differently than every other email
program.  Every program is different.  You would have to look at the
specific settings of each individual program that you want to support
(Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, etc), figure out which one is actually installed
on the machine, figure out where the settings are stored, extract it
manually, etc.

You are better off just asking the user what his/her email address is.
