Facebook forces all users over to Facebook.com e-mail addresses

This completely blows away the "let's the users sign up using facebook, we store their email and if we ever decide to ditch the FB login, we can always email them a password reset"

I'd like to second the request that someone test this who is in a place where they can easily do so. Thanks in advance.

I think for now the api is still returning their correct email address.

Have you tested it? Is this going to stay that way or will API usage move to returning only @facebook.com as well?

I'm a different person and I haven't tested it, but I would think it would ignore the new "show on timeline" field when retrieving via the API which would in effect return whatever e-mail addresses it used to return in addition to (assuming people don't change their settings) the new @facebook.com address.

It would be great if someone would check this, though.

And they are still returning non-Facebook addresses through the API?

That's surprising.
