How can I import my contacts from Outlook to Evolution?

A python scriptexists for this at [Evolution] Re: Mozilla address book to evolution. Another way to do this is to install Mozilla Thunderbird and get it to import the contacts from the Outlook .pst file and then to export them as LDIF to import it into Evolution. There is also a vCard/VCF to Thunderbird LDIF conversion tool available at Export VCard Format from Address Book • mozillaZine Forums. You can also export to a csv file in Outlook and then use the csv2vcard utility that is shipped with Evolution. At http://www.neotek.hu/en/o2e_en.html there is also a pretty interesting application to convert from Outlook to Evolution generally.

I found this: couldn't be any easier!

A little-known feature in Evolution is the ability to synchronize your Evolution Contacts with Gmail's Address Book. This is a great way to get your contacts offline and still synchronized with Gmail. To set this up, go to Contacts and click File -> New -> Address Book. Change the Type to Google, give it a name, put in your username (without the @gmail.com), and optionally select SSL. Click Apply, and all your Gmail contacts should show up in Evolution's Address Book under Google -> addressbookname.
