Hi, I used OUTPORT to extract data from OUTLOOK and created an address book (actually two files) for Ximian Evolution. These created files re then just copied or moved into ~/evolution/local/Contacts on/in the Linux box and re-start Evolution, and you'll see all of your Contacts. Try and reverse the process, as you will have a template against which you can draw upon - http://outport.sourceforge.net/ Hope this helps.
