The problem is that except for roundcube, I don't see any download/export option available. And in roundcube I can only select one email at a time and download it as eml. My question is how do I export/download all the emails from one account and import them at the new host?
I'm in need of backuping my emails in Outlook Web App but I can't find an export/import function in OWA. My question is:
Can you export emails from OWA and how?

No you cannot. Outlook Web App is purely meant to send and receive email, but does not have a backup function.
If you want to backup email to an external medium, you will need a client such as Microsoft Outlook that supports this.

Here is the enhancement request. You can drag and drop emails to add them as attachments as a workaround (see this answer). You can download an email like this:
- Start a new message
- Click to edit the message in a new window.
- Select all emails you would like to download.
- Drag the emails to the new message. This will add them as attachments.
- Click the down arrow on the attachment and download the email message, or send the message to yourself and then download all attachments.

When viewing an email you want to download; Select the down arrow which is located on the top-right-hand corner of the email. Select 'Print' and confirm 'print' again. When your browser's print page window opens up, click 'change destination' and select 'save to PDF' from the list of printers. Click 'Save'.Now you have a PDF version of that email.

I'm just switching my hosts and I want to move the emails from my accounts too. In order to have my current emails on the new host I want to download/export them and to import at the other host. In order to do this I use one of the webmail (squirrelmail, roundcube, horde) clients available on my current host.
The problem is that except for roundcube, I don't see any download/export option available. And in roundcube I can only select one email at a time and download it as eml.
My question is how do I export/download all the emails from one account and import them at the new host? I know this is possible because I remember doing this some time ago using squirrelmail, but I can't find anything related to this now.
Thank you.

You'll need to be able to access your email through an IMAP connection in order to do this. Unless there is a specific archival download option offered from the webmail clients (and I'm not familiar with any but squirrelmail), that's your only option AFAIK. If the provider only offers POP, then at least you can archive your messages, but you won't be able to import them to the new server unless it supports IMAP.
Find out the connection settings from your provider and set up Thunderbird or the client of your choice. (I do this in Apple Mail routinely.) With IMAP, just copy the messages from the folder on your server to a local one on the client, then reconfigure the client for the new server and then copy them back.
With POP it's a little weirder since that protocol is only one-way. You may need to do some tweaking on the client to get it to download all of your old messages, but once you do you'll at least have a local archive.
