Google is your friend:

What is an LDIF file:

http://www.auditmypc.com/acronym/LDIF.asp

Outlood to Sylpheed address files:

Outlook will export the address book to a CSV file which can then be
converted to an LDIF file and imported into Sylpheed.  Google on "CSV
to LDIF" and you will find instructions.
