Im taking a trip around the world with a friend; were going to some rather poor countries and Im not taking my 1,000 Macbook Pro there.

My intent is to use either Windows or Linux (leaning towards teh Doze) so if the machine gets stolen I really wont care.

How can I convert my Apple Mail Address book to these various formats.

I highly recommend going with outlook or thunderbird - skip outlook express.

I havent tried it myself but I believe it should work because they use the same file formats for the address book.

And besides using it for email its also an excellent new reader for those sites that use NNTP.

You dont need to switch over to using Thunderbird on your Mac.

Outlook Express 10.7 Install Thunderbird And

Just install Thunderbird and then use its export address book feature and then import that file in Thunderbird on your Windows computer.

You only need to do this if Outlook cant use Mails vcard file format.

In other words Thunderbird will convert Apples Address Book into a file format that can be used on both Mac and Windows version of Thunderbird.
