Did you know, that you can try to import a QIF file to keep your history? Might be worth a try, your mileage may vary though.

The date format is usually controlled by the KDE system settings. KMyMoney just uses that. Or am I misunderstanding the question?

That depends on the possibilities your bank supports. Usually you use "Account/Map account" to setup direct online processing of statement/transaction data. Another possibility is to import CSV files.

Hope that helps and gets you started.
