Converting address-books to bbdb

[Cecil Westerhof]

I am starting to use gnus and just installed bbdb. At the moment I have
a lot of address information in Evolution and -almost- none in bbdb. Is
there a way to convert?

Is there a generic solution? I think it would be nice if data could be
imported/exported from different address books to bbdb and the other way
around.

I had a quick peek at .bbdb. I saw that it was just plain text. Does
this not give a performance problem when the address book becomes really
big?

You may also be interested in the BBDB user group. They often have good
suggestions on using it and know the internals well.
