People has its own email program for sending messages, or you can invoke your normal email program and Web browser. 

The built-in chat program lets you hold private online chats with your friends. 

Your data can be exported to a comma-separated text file or to the new standard for electronic business cards, vCard, for importing to programs such as the Outlook Express address book. 

A cool feature lets you create a "Meet My Friends" website in just a few seconds form your entire database, including pictures.  

The program has its own Backup and Restore feature that lets you store compressed versions of your database on multiple disks. 

Also new is the support for multiple database so that you can have a database for your family and one for your friends. 

The Reopen function in the menu lets you easely acces up to 10 with just a click of a button.
