Never import from prior versions of Outlook, There's no need qand you can
damage your mail profile.

I didn't :-)
I exported my addresses from TheBat! in ldif format but then had to import
them into OE before getting them into Outlook, ludicrous that Outlook
doesn't import ldif itself.
If I decide to keep Outlook then I will need to get several hundred emails
into it somehow from a variety of mailing lists. Unfortunately it still
doesn't seem to use the Unix mailbox format which was an accepted standard
long before MSFT came on the (Internet) scene.


In previous email clients I have always had the option to start a
reply with 'On date someone said' but I am not getting this in
Outlook.

You need to have software that will accomplish this, like
Outlook-Quotefix. However, Outlook-Quotefix works only with Plain Text
messages and it won't work with Outlook 2007 as of yet.

Oh dear :-(
That may be the final nail in the coffin.
