Re: Evolution Address Book format

Hi,

I used OUTPORT to extract data from OUTLOOK and created an address book
(actually two files) for Ximian Evolution. These created files re then
just copied or moved  into ~/evolution/local/Contacts on/in the Linux
box and re-start Evolution, and you'll see all of your Contacts.

Try and reverse the process, as you will have a template against which
you can draw upon - 

http://outport.sourceforge.net/

Hope this helps.
