This has been made as simple as possible, affording you the freedom and flexibility to manage your contacts however and whenever you like. The 'Business Card' function makes it even easier to add someone to your GMX Contacts. Within your online address book, you will find your own personal Business Card.

From the search bar, users can search contacts within their email address book based on certain elements of their name or email address.
