I don't think the email use case is that compelling. The reason for this is that the email headers shown in DV could be used to *create* a Contact, just the way in KMail while reading a message I can right-click on an address in the header pane and choose "add to address book". Similarly, Thunderbird automatically creates a contact instance with just the email address filled in (and name, if it can be extracted from the address) for every email I send, IIRC. Other mailers might have similar functionality, and so this kind of workflow should be reasonably familiar to a new user.
