You definitely can associate a transfer account to the column in single line import mode. There is "Account" and "Transfer Account" for a reason. And it works well in a single currency environment. It breaks down in a multi currency one.
Obviously with one "Account" column and one "Transfer Account" column there can only be a maximum of two accounts per line. As such a 'single line' import can only work for transactions involving only two accounts. And that's why a multi-line mode was added: in this mode each line represents one split of a transaction. As one split can only belong to one transaction, the "Transfer Account" no longer makes sense in the multi-line mode. That's why it only appears in single-line mode. > Geert also indicated that the main developer effort is currently directed to > other areas.

Don't hesitate to ask for clarifications of the code if needed.
