Hi Sami,
You certainly do not have to create a Quiz if you want to create categories and create questions for those categories. Just go directly to the Categories page.
The way to do this depends if you are using moodle version 1.9 or 2.0, but it is fairly easy to find out.
PS.- Have you read the documentation?
I have examined the export_Truefalse GIFT file you attached.
1.- The category you exported contained 2 multianswer questions, which cannot be exported in the GIFT format.
2.- Your file contains 3 TRUE/FALSE questions, one ("Isra University main branch is in Lahore") with FALSE as correct answer and 2 with TRUE as correct answer. This shows that your export feature works OK.
3.- I have removed from your text file all questions except for those 3 TRUE/FALSE questions and imported them into my 1.9 moodle course. There is no problem, the question "Isra University main branch is in Lahore" keeps its "FALSE" value. So I cannot reproduce your problem.
4.- I am attaching a simple GIFT file with 2 TRUE/FALSE questions. Please import it to your moodle site and tell us the result.
Hope that helps,
Joseph
Using Moodle 1.9.11 (Build: 20110221)
Cannot reproduce the problem. Exporting and re-importing GIFT file of category with TRUE/FALSE questions in it works fine.
If you examine the exported GIFT file, are the TRUE / FALSE settings correct (as in see below)? Which language are you using for your questions? Do you have this problem if you create TRUE/FALSE questions in English?
You should try to pinpoint if the problem resides in the export process (i.e. is the GIFT exported file OK) or in the import process.

Sample GIFT file:
// question: 0 name: Switch category to $course$/Default for Course Fullname 101/truefalse
$CATEGORY: $course$/Default for Course Fullname 101/truefalse
// question: 732 name: animal
::animal::[html]the pigeon is an animal{TRUE#wrong #correct }
// question: 733 name: flower
::flower::[html]the cat is a flower{FALSE# sorry, cat is not a flower # correct, the cat is not a flower! }
Well, there is a simple test to conduct. Switch to standard theme (first) and a couple of other themes and see if the problem disappears. Then, if you confirm that the problem is linked to the decaf theme, post your question to the themes forum.

Ian "however, I am getting the same error (just tried it to prove the point) when I send a message using the IM facility to a participant who is not on-line, where it would usually convert this to an email message.
Does that help in pin-pointing the location of my problem."
Well, it shows that Questionnaire is not alone with this problem on your platform. Maybe IM and Questionnaire share the same procedure to send emails out, but I am no specialist in this matter. What about your in-house IT support? I hope they can help.
