Email import and export plugin?

Is there a plugin that works for both exporting and importing e-mail addresses (in and out of the store)? I found and downloaded the e-mail export plugin called: Email Address Exporter, but I would also like to import larger lists back into the store. The readme file did not say anything about importing (as the name implies).

I had originally had that module installed but did not move files over on new sever (migration and upgrade was just completed). In fact I had to manually remove some of those definitions from my database, because they were not compatible with v1.5 and 1.51 which is what I have. Some of those definitions made my e-mail page not show at all until I removed these extras. This warning is on the top of the plugin:

****THIS WILL NOT WORK ON v1.5.0 or v1.5.1.****

While we are not likely going to use this newsletter function at this current time, it would be nice to import/export addresses to be used with either this (in the future) or an outside e-mail source for now.

Newsletters are a form of advertisement
Most hosts limit email so using them to distribute advertisements is not advised

Try looking at a service like mailchimp for this as they also provide templates
