Look at abook for a simple addressbook written for mutt. Its manpage
says that it can use the --convert option to import different formats,
including csv files.
It's not graphical, flash, fancy, and doesn't use the mouse, but it
works - sort of like mutt, in that respect :-)
Also, take a look at the lbdb package - it might be of interest to you.
I don't use it personally (yet), but have heard good things about it
from others on this list.
Hope this helps,
