I just discovered that the mbox files are *not* the problem! Exporting my Address book from Evolution is not intuitively obvious. I found a web page from May 2006, that says: "Export the evolution address book with the evolution-addressbook-export utility in csv format" and it said to use this command: /usr/lib/evolution/2.X/evolution-addressbook-export --format=csv > contacts.csv
but I cannot find evolution-addressbook-export there.
I have been using Evolution for years, because Upstream defaults to it, but YUK..... I am moving to Thunderbird and I am not going to look back. I will keep searching, for a hopefully simple way to Export my contacts from Evolution, so I can Import them into Thunderbird..... :-)

/usr/libexec/evolution/2.8/evolution-addressbook-export

Craig: Cool. I just posted that I found a way around it (exporting .vcf and then using a converter on the web to .ldif and .csv formats) but you are correct, I did find evolution-addressbook-export
in /usr/libexec/evolution/2.12/
It wasn't where I was looking for it, from the post I'd read. Had I not found a way around it, you would have saved the day.... Thanks! Lanny
