It's possible that your host has a problem with uploading files via the web. Try sending your CSV file with FTP to your main ListMail directory. Then, type the filename into the second box on the Import page.

Standard CSV format is quote-separated with the fields in no particular order, similar to as follows:

"email@site.com","First","Last"
"email2@site.com","First","Last"

When you choose the file to import you should be presented with a "Field match" page where you can match up fields to data based on the first line of the file. ie:

email@site.com -> Email Address
First -> First Name
Last -> Last Name

Setting the fields this way should allow all data to be imported as expected.
