 * Hi,
 * when I update users through your plugin their passwords are changed although 
   I selected unter Import settings “Never update a password when user is updated”.
 * For your information: The csv file I used to import the users the first time 
   doesn’t have a column for passwords, since I wanted passwords to be autogenereted.
   the csv file I use to update users is the same file, so also no password dolumn.
 * UPDATE: I just found out the following: When I update a user he gets sent the
   email with his login data. There a new password is shown. However it DOESN’T 
   work. The old password is still valid. So it seems: The password is actually 
   not updated, but in the login data email a new password is sent to the user instead
   of the old valid one.
 * Regards
    Dave
