If so, grep & shell, or maybe perl or python could scan the mail folders, creating a big .vcf file with all of the addresses in it. Since .evolution/addressbook/local/system/addressbook.db is a bdb file, it can be queried by perl/python so that duplicate addr- esses won't get inserted. Then, the .vcf can be imported into Evo. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B "If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament -- disarmament follows peace."
