I'm in the final stages of becoming a linux-only household, now that I have a 
usb flashcard reader that works.  My final problem is importing my wife's 
Outlook Address book to the kaddress book.  I've found that the kmail import 
tool will import all mail folders, after I imported the Outlook folders into 
Outlook Express, except the "Contacts" folder (it's in a proprietary MS 
format, and OE doesn't appear to really import it, but just "reads" it).  I 
exported Contacts to a .CSV file, then imported that into kspread.  Now, my 
problem is, how do I import and convert the ksp file into a .kab?  I've tried 
opening my kaddress book and choosing file>import, but the only option I'm 
given is to import the version1 address book (which I never set up).  Hitting 
the 'folder' icon doesn't give me an option of opening anything, and 
'file>open' only gives me the option of opening a *.kab.

Or, as an alternative, has anyone successfully imported a *.wab or a 
'Contacts' folder without first converting it to another format, or if first 
converting, what format did you use?  'Contacts' is not a '.dbx' and Outlook 
won't export directly to '.dbx' anyway, only to '.dbf'.

This Contacts folder contains hundreds of address, which she uses regularly, 
so redoing it by hand is a last resort.

thanks
