You can use multiple clients, however it is best to create a new account on 
each one
at the moment. Using the same account simultaneously is not currently 
supported. The
behavior is undefined.

The import/export feature is to simply be able to backup your account, since 
this
information and your encryption keypair is only stored locally. Or to be able to
transfer the account to use on another device instead of the one it was created 
on.

I have a patch enabling import/export in the Gnome client which is awaiting 
code review.

It is possible to do manually, but it would involve copying and editing several 
files,
which is not so easy on Android. Let me know if you still want to know how to 
do this.
