1.) This is the wrong newsgroup for that question.

2.) Apple's Mail makes use of Apple's Address Book.

Apple's Address Book can import a CSV file. See Address Book's online
help command for details. Mail's online help has info on its
communication with Address Book.

I'm not sure why you posted this to a hardware newsgroup, but...

Are you talking about Apple's Mail app (postage stamp icon on your dock)
or the web interface for a .Mac mail account?

If it's the former, you don't import, or enter, addresses at all in
Mail, you do so in Address Book, which is a separate but linked program.
How you do so depends on which Mac OS version you're running.  In Tiger,
you use Address Book's Import command to import a text file.  In Panther
and earlier, you need to convert the .csv file to vCard format.  One way
to do this is:
