Can I delete contacts from the address book from a .csv file?
I have a big list of contacts whose emails are no longer active. Is there any way of bulk delete contacts from a .csv file? I don't want to manually search and delete hundreds of contacts.

You could export your data to a CSV file, edit it and re-import it, but doing so would create a new address book leaving the original intact. I guess you could then delete the original address book and switch to the new imported-from-CSV address book.
One hitch is that if the original address book was Personal Address Book or Collected Addresses, if you do delete it then it will be recreated, empty. So then you might want to drag-and-drop the contents of the new trimmed-down address book back to the new working address book.

I can't say it doesn't work... but it could be simpler. It would be great if we were able to import an "unsubscribe list".
