Save As / Export Email (msg file) in OWA
No tricks, sorry, not possible to export via OWA.
I am afraid that it is not possible.
Perhaps, VasilMichev knows the trick...

VasilMichev maybe it was not available before but now, by clicking on the ellipses (...) and choosing Download, will save the message in .eml format
It was added recently - I noticed it available earlier this summer.
ETA: I have a screenshot of the dialog from January and it is not on it. The newer screenshots I have of the dialog cut off right before it. 😞
Bummer 😭
I did find a UserVoice item for this: https://outlook.uservoice.com/forums/313228--outlook-on-the-web-office-365/suggestions/19002226-saving-attaching-emails-on-office365
- I guess an .eml file (i.e. the raw email) is no good…
In OWA, one can create a new email, drag an existing email onto it and it gets added as an attachment, then one can click the down-arrow on the attachment to Download, which creates a file called “eml”.
A .msg file is much more than an .eml though, right?I just tried that, since I'm tired of my saved messages disappearing after 2 years. Create a new message, drag and drop the message I want to save into the new message. Right click on the newly created attachment, choose download. This is the goofiest thing ever. Why couldn't I just right click on the message in my inbox, and actually pick a folder to download to?
