In outlook when viewing all received email in one folder I wish to add a
column and then be able to add a reference number in that column against any
specific email.

I have simple programming experience and wondered if it was fairly
straightforward?

Yes, that's pretty simple. Create a new table view, turn on in-cell editing, and add the BillingInformation or Mileage property to the view to store the data.

Great got that to work - thanks.

where does outlook store the data I put in the column? can i get exchange to
store it?

I want other users on different PCs, who have rights to view my mailbox, to
be able to see the data I put into the column.
