I want to use customized data for each user in my mail chimp marketing emails.
for example I want to use my user's last order price in the email I want to send to him/her.
I guess there may be an API way to get users data from my server.

I'm creating custom emails (many customizations) in MailChimp campaign builder. Looks like the only option to send is via a campaign, which I'd need to manually upload a list of email addresses. I honestly just want to use the builder to send a quality form email, that I customize for each recipient.
Is it possible to send an email to a specific email address without building a list, etc? This will probably be a one-time thing.
You can send campaign to single email address in mailchimp through this method. However you can't send the same campaign more than once to same email address.
create an automation email with API 3.0 as trigger.
Now, to send a campaign, make POST call to the given url with email address in your mailchimp
https://us19.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/automations/********/emails/********/queue
Now, To call that api you need to add HTTP BAsic Auth or OAuth 2 to API Request. See this answer MailChimp 3.0 HTTP POST Json Example
There's also a npm module to make life easier https://npmjs.com/package/mailchimp-api-v3
This is just a workaround as mailchimp was not built for single emails. In the longer run I'd suggest you to look into mandrill, sendgrid or other transactional email tool.
You are better off using Mandrill, MailChimp's transactional email app, to send one off emails. You can still use or at least make use of MailChimp campaigns but you can send one off emails that are customised and you do not need to send to a list
I am trying to build a control that the user can use to send feedback to developer. I am using email as a delivery method and I leverage sendgrid email service for this. Now I want to know the users email address so I can respond back to the user's concern. I am not sure how to get the user's email in window 10. Any help or pointers please?
I would strongly recommend to use the sharing approach that has been introduced with Windows 8 - instead of writing and maintaining your own mail functionality and trying to access additional user data.
Have a look at the existing and built in e-mail functionalities. They make use of the user's connected mail accounts and the mail app. This way you don't need to worry about handling the message transmission or anything but rather hand the information over to the mail client. This way you also know how to reply back.
And as a bonus, the user can still access their message via the Sent Mails folder :)
There is a specific class for that, the EmailMessageClass (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.applicationmodel.email.emailmessage.aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-1) as well as a dedicated guide with code example.

Essentially you can prepopulate the Mail fields with necessary app information where applicable. The user gets to choose which accounts he wants to send the mail from, but it will open in the mail client.
I am working on xmpp client for google chat. I need the Google Talk ID which looks something like "xxxxx#public.talk.google.com" of a user. Using oauth2, I am able to get the email id(gmail) and other profile information but I can't figure out how to get the Google Chat ID.
I know that I can use the email id in place of the Google Chat ID for all purposes. I need the Google Chat ID because I am using email ID as an identifier in my user table. Whenever a user receives a message in Google Chat (Hangouts), I am getting the from id as "xxxxx#public.talk.google.com" . There's no way for me to check if I have a record of the sender in my user table. If I can retrieve the Google Chat ID when people authenticate with my client, I can store it in the user table and use it to match when a user receives messages.
Sending messages works fine because I have the email id of the target user and I can use that to send message.
Please suggest if it's possible to get the Google Chat ID
There is even other problem: you can send or receive messages from users you don't even know the email ID. Maybe rely on using Google Talk ID always instead of email ID for your user table can be a better option.
BTW I heard something about that Google is discontinuing Google Chat...
I am currently looking at building a web app that allows a user to sign in and receive a list of their tweets from the previous week in an email this information will be stored and pulled in from a db
Now at first I thought I could use something like postmark but this is apparently only for transactional emails and not bulk newsletters. I guess mine would be a newsletter as it would send to lots of people at the same time every week. But my question is how could I use a service like mailchimp that would allow completely customised content for each recipent? Is this possible with a service like mailchimp or campaign monitor?
If you want customized content per subscriber in the one email campaign (dynamic content), MailChimp is the way to go. Campaign Monitor has yet to implement that functionality.
Another option if you're a developer is to use Sendgrid.
I am using Authorize.net AIM on my website to accept donations/payments. Authorize.net automatically sends an email receipt to the customer once they have made the purchase, but I wish to disable this and send an email using my own email receipt template (in .html).
Previously I have sent emails using this format after I have inserted a username and email address into mySQL from a form on my website - it worked great.
I now wish to do this same thing, but instead of inserting information into a database, using the information from their donation (amount, email address, confirmation) to send them an email.
I was using Swift to send the emails. This worked great.
How would I use php to do the same thing but with the information from my authorize.net coding?
You could use Authorize.net's API and SDK and call the GetTransactionDetailsRequest with the transId and pipe the results to your customer's email with your own custom HTML email template.
