For IMAP, how much is there to export? Just connect to the server 
with a different client.

However, as an open-source project, various add-ons/utilities have 
been created to implement export functions. These can be used for 
entire folders that you might have created for local/off-line use 
rather than for individual e-mail items (which can be exported as 
.eml files.)

I've had no use for export, so I'm no source for info.
