What is the purpose of Personal Cards Manager (PCM)? Why do you need PCM if every e-mail client has own address book?

1. The main purpose of PCM - keep ALL contacts (not e-mails only) in one place

  • Continue to use the address book of your e-mail client
  • Continue to use the address book of the mobile phone
  • use the Personal Cards Manager as your central database

2. The second argument to start using PCM: Usually you temporary keep e-mails, phones and names in plain text files or little pieces of paper. PCM is the perfect tool to sort your records.
