Q: Is it possible to import via CSV file a bunch of people without email addresses??
Short A: Sure. Contacts w/o email addresses will be imported and their email address property will be blank (allowing you to update it in HubSpot after import).

@melissaregan Just a note. All my contacts are imported regardless of email status. There is one key piece I must always remember because of this. HubSpot uses the email address as the primary identifier, therefore I can not duplicate the contacts with emails when importing a new list. Anyone who does not have an email will be duplicated.
@gelflex-cc makes an excellent point regarding the mass duplication histeria caused by importing contacts w/o email addresses. We see these messes in HubSpot portal after HubSpot portal belonging to users whose original intention for email-less imports was "to save time".
If phone number is the only initial means of contact there are better systems for managing calls up to the point if/when an email address can be obtained for integration with HubSpot. Much more efficient. Much more manageable.
Note: Please search for recent posts as HubSpot evolves to be the #1 CRM platform of choice world-wide.
Per the response below, what are the better systems for managing calls? I like the features of Hubspot, but if I cannot load my information it is worthless.
