Sorry for late reply - we still have no progress here. This requests is quite high in our queue but I cannot promise that we are going to release anything here in 2011.

We decided to focus initially on batch deleting of contacts/members - this part has been already designed and now being estimated. There are chances this is going to be a part of our 4.4 release (2012 Q1)

Bulk deleting of contacts will be very useful for us also.

Would also like to be able to do a bulk change of membership level: we have different levels (with different membership fees) for student, first year, second year, and member. After their first year, they (obviously) become a second year member, and that is how their renewal notice goes out, but students can be students for years so we can't force them to upgrade. In the past a few students have taken advantage and been "student" members for a few years until we have spotted them.

Usable way of bulk archive and delete of contacts is going to be part of very next release 4.4. But even now you can use export/import to batch archive contacts and then batch delete all archived contacts from Account Details page.

I have used export/import to bulk archive members. But there are some who are archived that we do not want to delete, so can't use this method to bulk delete them. So it will be nice to have the ability to do so online.
