Apple's Mail program keeps mail in mbox format, understood by 
countless other programs.  (It has indexes and other info in some 
custom format, but the actual mail is kept in bog standard mbox 
files.)

As for Address Book, the 10.2 version has learned how to export in 
vcard format.  This may not help somebody with the 10.1 version (like 
the original poster), but tends to indicate that Apple felt the 10.1 
version was lacking in that department.

Ah -- a so-called psychic branching out to offer BS advice on 
computer topics too.  Brilliant.  Why don't you stick to the woo-woo?
