OneNote and Outlook integration
- Apr 18, 2019
The "Save to OneNote" command in Outlook only works with OneNote 2016. To accomplish something similar in OneNote for Windows 10, check out the following page:
https://www.onenote.com/EmailToOneNoteBriefly, after setting it up, you just forward an email to me@onenote.com from your registered email address and it shows up in OneNote. There is no visual way to pick the destination section, so you have to set up sort of an "InBox" in OneNote or type in a subject line that directs the mail to the right spot. It's all explained in the webpage.
It took me a while to workout what was wrong here.
I did a reinstall of office and onenote integration to outlook disappeared.
Additionally one lost all functionality to tag and looked like a cutback version.
It seems Microsoft has decided to finish Onenote 2016 and move to Onenote 10 as the default version. Fair enough... but Onenote 10 does not have the integrations to outlook or tags etc. From what i can read this will be added back into Onenote 10 during Q4 2019.
I have therefore reloaded onenote 2016 to run alongside Onenote 10 and i will swap over when onenote 10 catches up with 2016 functionality. Microsoft must have their reasons for doing this but i cant think of a good one....
Here is the link to MS page and onenote 2016 download and explaination.
