Get user profile by email using JSOM in SharePoint 2013 Online

I'm working on SharePoint hosted app in SP 2013 Online using JSOM. My requirement is to get user profile properties by using email id. I know that we can get any user profile using input as account name e.g.

userProfileProperty = peopleManager.getUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName, propertyName)

but is it possible to do the same using email id of a user?

SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager.getUserProfilePropertyFor method expects accountName parameter to be provided in claim format

About identity claim format

SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2010 display identity claims with the following encoding format:

<IdentityClaim>:0<ClaimType><ClaimValueType><AuthMode>|<OriginalIssuer (optional)>|<ClaimValue>

Follow this article for an explanation.

In case of SharePoint Online (SPO) the following format is used for an account:

i:0#.f|membership|[email protected]

The claim could be constructed from email address:

function toClaim(email)
{
    return String.format('i:0#.f|membership|{0}',email);
}

Example

var email = '[email protected]'; 
var profilePropertyName = "PreferredName";
var accountName = toClaim(email);


function getUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName,profilePropertyName,success,failure)
{
   var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
   var peopleManager = new SP.UserProfiles.PeopleManager(context);
   var userProfileProperty = peopleManager.getUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName,profilePropertyName);

   context.executeQueryAsync(
   function(){
      success(userProfileProperty);
   }, 
   failure);
}

Usage

getUserProfilePropertyFor(accountName,profilePropertyName,
   function(property){
      console.log(property.get_value());
   }, 
   function(sender,args){
      console.log(args.get_message());    
   });
