Is it possible to get email header from SENT item with OWA rest-api?

According to this question Is it possible to retrieve the RFC 2822 (or any) headers from an email with the Outlook/Office 365 REST API? by doing 

GET https://outlook.office.com/api/beta/me/mailfolders/inbox/messages$select=InternetMessageHeaders

But I can get the header only for inbox items, I need to retrieve the header for the sent items as well!

You can get it using the $value parameter to get the MIME type of the message and read the entire header!

From Example 4 - Get message

GET https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/me/messages/4aade2547798441eab5188a7a2436bc1/$value

Response

The email headers are created by the email servers, these details can include who sent the message, the software that was used to compose it, and the email servers that it passed through on its way to the recipient. Hence you are not able to view the header information for the sent messages.
