Greg -

Thanks. I expect the 'cheap tool' approach is worth a shot.

To answer your question, OE-5 did give me an export of 'contacts', but 
it's bloated with empty fields. That's what I meant about a "semi-manual" 
approach. The folders and traffic are in a single file, but so far I 
haven't found a tool that recognizes it.
