Read windows phone primary e-mail address

How do you get the Windows Phone primary e-mail address (or a list of e-mail addresses) ?

In my application I need to ask for users email address for reports. But I want to prefill the email box so that users does not have to enter it. How can I read his primary email address.

I know this can be easily done in Android. Using AccountManager (API level 5+).

I googled it but could not find any relevant reference. Kindly help I am new to windows phone development.

    Not Possible, Due to privacy concerns it is not possible to retrieve the account ID

    There are few links that are saying No.

    From MSDN forum

    From SO & another one

    These Sources are bit older. But in latest update of Windows Phone it may possible.
