Why would he not be able to import the csv with the required addresses only or the field empty without using ~DEL?
I've done this several times when removing other addresses and other fields and have had a problem. Yet. Thanks.

What you have to do is export all the addresses first and massage the data to delete the SMTP addresses, then import it back. You'll need two lines for each object in the import file. The first will have "~DEL" (without the quotes) in the E-Mail Addresses and Secondary-Proxy-Addresses attributes, then the second line adds back all the addresses except the SMTP addresses. However, I'm not sure all of this is really what you want.

I've been given a csv by our HO with the entry ~DEL<SMTP:> but all it gives me is errors on import. A google search seems to bring me stuff in foreign languages. The reason behing this request is that we are in the middle of migrating to E2K. The dist lists have been created and populated in 2K already. Now we are ready to hide the E55 ones and replicate the 2K ones back as custom recipients. I think we need to remove the SMTP address in order to have it in the custom recipient pointing to 2K. Since HO don't wake up for another few hours I hoped to get insight here. (And yes, this is in a lab first.)
