Exim can use either an mbox or maildir style mail spool. I'm not sure how exchange stores its mail, but try looking for something that simply extracts the messages into raw MBOX format messages and
copy them to the respective users' mailspool on the unix system. The only way it depends on Exim is how the messages get stored.

As a last resort, you could use fetchmail to connect to the exchange server and retrieve messages for each account via imap or pop3, and have fetchmail deliver them locally to the unix system.
