Answer 1

After Digging around, I finally ended up downloading every related app (outlook, linkedin, twitter..) and dumping there account types using the following code:

public void pickUserAccount() {
    /*This will list all available accounts on device without any filtering*/
    Intent intent = AccountPicker.newChooseAccountIntent(null, null,
            null, false, null, null, null, null);   
    startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT);
}
/*After manually selecting every app related account, I got its Account type using the code below*/
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_ACCOUNT) {
        // Receiving a result from the AccountPicker
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            System.out.println(data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE));
            System.out.println(data.getStringExtra(AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME));
        } else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {
            Toast.makeText(this, R.string.pick_account, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

And this is the following results that I got:

• Outlook (Hotmail, Live):com.outlook.Z7.eas
• LinkedIn: com.linkedin.android
• Facebook: com.facebook.auth.login
• Twitter: com.twitter.android.auth.login
• Every other Imap email accounts used in Android Mail app: com.google.android.legacyimap (Thanks to Ozbek)
• and of course Google: com.google

I am still missing the yahoo account type, cause the yahoo mail app kept crashing on my device.

Therefore I hope that if you have yahoo's account type, please share it.

Pattern emailPattern = Patterns.EMAIL_ADDRESS;
Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(getActivity()).getAccounts();
ArrayList emails = new ArrayList();
for (Account account : accounts) {
    if (emailPattern.matcher(account.name).matches()) {
         emails.add(account.name);
    }
}
