- Select all the messages you want to save.
- Right-click the first one and choose Save as...
- Pick a folder where you want to store them.

This will save all selected messages as subject-sender-date&time.eml

You can read these *.eml files later with Thunderbird or another reader.

PS do the folks at nowhere.com know you?
If not pick another domain like nowhere.invalid
