Sorry for the slightly misleading bit about Mozilla - that was for
transferring email. The contacts problem came when importing the vcf
files that had been produced via csv2vcard.
Anyway this worked:
Open the vcf file in OpenOffice (or whatever) and do the find and
replace there before importing.
Temporarily change the genuine PO Box entries first to something like
"&&&" by searching for "PO Box PO Box" and change them back at the end
to "PO Box".
I found that I had to do two searches to get the job done fully - once
on "PO Box" and again on "PO Box " (that's a space after Box).
Anyway - job done - I had a lot of addresses otherwise!
