What you might need to do is import the data, creating duplicate items, then use a free duplicate merge tool to combine that information with the existing items. See http://www.slipstick.com/addins/contacts.htm for such tools

I have contact data to import back into Outlook. These are contacts that
already exist in this Outlook Contacts folders with good e-mail address but
no mailing address. But I only want to import and update the address, city,
state, zip, and I want the e-mail that's in there to stay there. The only
choices I get for when Outlook finds duplicate on import is: replace the
contact with the new data (that doesn't help me because it clears out the e-
mail), or create a duplicate, or don't import dupes.

The problem is that when the contacts got exported in order to be cleaned up
and have addresses added, I didn't export ALL the data including those e-
mails & Categories. We have 2,000 contacts now with good addresses to go
back in. I want my data to "merge" with the data already in Outlook, and
overwrite any fields where I bring in new data. Like the same way Outlook
functions if you are adding a single client, and it thinks it's a duplicate -
you can choose to update old contact with new data.

Thank you!
