I can give you suggestions on how to approach this task, but I can't give you a complete script.

The basic flow would be like this (in pseudo code)
Code:
open imap(s) connection to exchange server
login
select inbox
open local file for writing
request listing of all email elements
foreach element
    get date, subject, body from element
    write "date;subject;body" to local file
close local file
logout
close imap connection

Everything else depends on the language you choose. Personally, I'd user Perl or Python, but it can also be done in bash or C.
