As far as I know there is no such native capability in FME Desktop, but I'm confident it should be doable without too much effort:

Enable POP support on your Exchange server
Using a PythonCaller (or a PythonCreator), use the native "poplib" module to retrieve the mail and convert it into an FME feature. Starting point: http://intelligentonlinetools.com/blog/2016/09/13/retrieving-emails-from-pop3-server-using-python-script/
