Try this trick: install Mozilla Thunderbird on windows, then use the import tools to get everything. Emails AND Address Book
Now you have full standard UNIX mbox files inside your profile directory inside Application Data\Thunderbird\profile\fjerwol\ (or something).
I presume both email and addressbook files are portable simply by copying them between Windows and Linux Mozilla Thunderbird.
If afterward you want to switch to something else (like kmail or whatnot), you can always export the address book to vcard format, or csv format, and simply copy your mbox files.
I've done full conversions away from Outlook Express many times: maybe slow, but exellent!
