I use Thunderbird to download the messages from Exchange via IMAP. I create local folders (making sure to set Thunderbird for MBOX format) and then copy to the local folders, one for Spam and one for Ham. Then I go into the profile, grab the mbox files, and upload to the server for import. This could (and maybe should) be automated, but I only do it every couple of months to catch spam that slips by the SURBLs and SARE rules. The key is to use something other than Outlook, which is useless for downloading in any standard format.
