Then on the other computer I imported it into OE (FILE, Import, Other Addressbook)
It worked a treat.
I perhaps could have done it another way but I knew that with a comma demlimted text file I could still read it and extract my contacts manually incase anything went wrong on the import side.
Cheers Flubflow. I've exported as CSV, text you name it, but when I go to import, OE doesn't see the files on the menu.

EDIT: Sussed it! I'm an idiot. Was choosing the wrong import option. Sorry for wasting your time.
