Maybe the UI should have more than one field than just "address".
maybe it should be broken down into street, city, etc.
This is already the default for Turba 2.2.
Alternately, allow multiple selections on the left column. of course,
there would be an order problem, but perhaps that is assumed handled
by the original imported file. in other words, the import file HAS to
have the fileds in the desired order.
Order isn't the only issue, it's also commas or other formatting.

How would you expect the UI for this to work? You'd have to not just
assign multiple fields to one destination, but also specify how those
fields would be combined, which is essentially a templating task.

When i import addresses from a CSV file, my street information is 
usually broken down into street name, city, state, zip. But when i 
Import into the Address Book, i can only select one field, Street. 
Same is true of Name, and perhaps some other fields on import. Can it 
be set so that multiple input fields get combined into a single field 
in the address book? (or for that matter any import to any feature 
like notes, tasks, etc.).
