You can easily convert a message to eml file in Outlook via Save as option but it is suitable if you need to convert only some specific emails. If you want to export multiple messages to EML file in Outlook then it takes lot of time to complete the process. To convert multiple Outlook emails to EML, try Advik Outlook PST Converter. The software allows you to save all Outlook emails as EML files at once without any data loss.

This is a stupid solution. Everyone knows how to change the file extension. The concern should be about saving the header content.

This is such a stupid and useless way to do it, you may as well copy-paste the text into Notepad and save it as an .eml file...

so this doesn's keep the actual email intact. This worked better for me, maybe it can help someone else who's looking for answers:https://www.codetwo.com/kb/export-email-to-file/
- you gotta use outlook on browser (owa) then send the email you need as attachment. Then, still on outlook owa, go to your sent items and download the attachment, it'll be downloaded as .eml - worked for me

Indeed, the answer is implying that opening the .txt file in Notepad and saving a new copy with the .eml extension would magically convert it into .eml format, which is of course nonsense. Indeed, the .txt file doesn't even contain the necessary information to be able to perform the conversion.

It is not correct solution, because in this case will be contain file only Body. There is no header...
