To import an email contact into your Friendica stream, you have to enter that contact’s standard email address on your Friendica’s contacts page, as if they were a Friendica, StatusNet or Diaspora contact. And there’s a condition for this (to prevent people using Friendica as a spam platform): You must currently have a mail from that contact in your IMAP inbox – that’s your normal mail inbox that you access with a mail client.
To test this, write yourself an email, using your mail client. Then add your own email address as a contact in Friendica. See the message? Respond to it. Now check your email inbox with your normal mail client.

You can put an email contact into the private groups you define within Friendica, and posts to those groups will also get delivered to that contact. You can also tick a box in the privacy settings when issuing a public post – and that post will go to email contacts, too. Replies will reach you in your personal stream, but for privacy reasons, they won’t go any further from there. Only you see them, not the other people participating in the respective thread. In future, this is going to change by mutual consent – so that people can elect to follow you and participate in your discussions by email. But we’re not there yet. And it’s going to be optional, and it will require permission from the people communicating with you by mail.
