Which will save in VCard (vcf) rather than the desired Comma Separated
Value (csv) format...


'$prefix/libexec/evolution/1.5' advertises to be able to export to csv
format, although it failed for ma on a quick test. See --help for more
options.

As you are using Evolution 1.4.6, simply check if this tool is in your
path (it was for me) or you will need to adjust the path to the
executable.


Beside this, there are likely a couple of tools out there which can
convert vcf to csv format. If your target tool/application doesn't
handle VCard files natively.
