"Being free software, one would expect Thunderbird to easily export back data to Outlook (this is necessary, because a colleague might not like the program and want to go back to Outlook); this is not so, which makes Thundebird a harder sell;"
Since you're writing about im- and exporting mail, you must be storing mail locally. Something that I haven't seen anyone do in a corporate environment for some 5 years now.
If you store the messages on any IMAP server then no import/export ever needs to be done and you would be able to switch back and forth between any number of imap-compatible clients (which most mail clients are today).
