If we are talking Address Book (Outlook refers to them as Contacts) then
ldif should work as long as you convert the line endings to proper unix
format CR/LF to LF

My method was to run Netscape on Windows, import the contacts using
Netscape on Windows and then drag the address book over to Linux and
import that into Netscape/Mozilla and Evolution can import that.

If you are talking mail...we have discussed that in the not to recent
past.
