Woops no Outlook does not export to vcf :-( I tried Thunderbird no luck Eudura 
exports to vcf but its import of addressbook from Outlook is hopeless. There 
are "free/shareware" apps you can buy at about $US20. I would prefer not to 
reward this sort of opportunism.

I have exported all bar addresses 2 and 3 using csv and will live with that 
unless anyone knows a free pst2vcf that works.
