Alpine can store its addressbook as a faked folder in the imap server, so that you can use it on another Alpine session or computer. But this is non-standard, I believe. The mbox and maildir formats are more or less standard, but there is none for adressboooks.
The standard method would be to create the addressbook in LDAP - but this I don't know how to do, after many years.
I have seen recipes for ldap. There is an ldap module in yast, but it is for user login/pass. I have seen recipes for mail addresses in ldap, but they are for storing the adresses and names of the people in the same organization.
I have not seen a recipe for simply storing unrelated names and addresses in ldap in a way that is understood by all or most mailers. It should be simple, but understanding ldap is something that elludes me. Must have been written by vi coders.

Did you try Thunderbird with Dovecot?
Check the headers of this one ;-)
So you have fetchmail>Dovecot>Thunderbird. And you were able to migrate
your addressbook to TB?
No, not that one.
