Move AOL addresses to Address Book

shows how to move in fewer steps. Just use Mozilla (Thunderbird) email to import and export the .ldif, it rewrites it in a format that address book understands, leaving Entourage out of the loop.

Move AOL addresses to Address Book
Authored by: whiteshaft on Sep 16, '04 12:19:49AM

That's right. Import into Mozilla and export back out, Address Book reads just fine (10.2.8).

Keep in mind though that my wife's AOL address book didn't have a lot of phone numbers or other info, mostly just email addresses. She said that she had some phone numbers and secondary email information that didn't translate, but from what I can see the problem was with the original export from AOL Communicator.
