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.
