Do not enter any duplicate column names. Instead select which column of the same name that you want to use, and use that one as the data to be imported. NA means that this column name is not applicable. The mailer column names are defaults which you may have changed for you account. - Once you have entered in the column names for those columns that you want to import leaving all others blank, save this file by selecting File>Save. This will save over your existing CSV file. And this file is now ready for importing.
