 * Hello,
 * if I have existing users and I want to update only their changed email adresses,
   after the import they have their existing password changed.
    I have a column 
   in my CSV “password” that is blank. I only want their email adress changed , 
   not their passwords.
 * I cannot update existing users email without resetten the password.

 * UPDATE
    Found out that I was using the CSV wrong. I had a column called “passwords”:
   that is wrong. I renamed the column to “password”, without the “s”. This time
   the import behaves like I expected, so you can close this topic.
