Hi Paul,

When you have a OneNote on SharePoint Online, open it in the windows client and share it with an external user via an MS account. The external user gets an error message, he's unable to log in and access the OneNote (user is not in the address list error).

Hi Bart,

I've just recreated the sharing conditions you've described and the sharing from my 365 domain to a commercial microsoft account worked correctly from inside the client.

Remember the big caveat with OneNote which is that it's an "all or nothing" sharing model so make sure to always split out to Customer facing notebooks etc.

Have you also tried recreating the sharing experiment with an external email that would need do the 1 step sign up to make a microsoft account?
