Hey @ByamB4,

When MS Defender for Office detects an email that contains a malware, there are several options: quarantine, move to deleted items folder, and others.
If the email was quarantined, you can analyze the malware file using the Threat Management capabilities

For more information about additional investigation options, see 
For more information about Threat Explorer capabilities, see

Please note that download in cases for Explorer, would not work for if the message was permanently deleted by the user (message was not present in deleted folder), or was soft deleted/hard deleted by admin.
