You can get almost all details about friends like their photos,interests, status updates but not email address.

From Facebook Email Permission Page : "Note: There is no way for apps to obtain email addresses for a user's friends."

To get a user's email address, you need the user_email permission. However, there is no equivalent friends_email permission to get Friends' email addresses as Facebook doesn't allow applications to get these.

Instead, you the Facebook User ID to link friends together. That is the correct way to do things, since the email address can change anyway.
