OneNote and Outlook integration
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:

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.

Thank you Dryheat.
This is at least a start, but why can't we simply use the "Send to One Note" button from outlook?
Life was wonderful with this feature. and what about creating outlook tasks on OneNote? does Microsoft have plans of developing this? or are we just SOL?
danielponton I agree. Let's bring back the Send To Onenote button. What is so hard about this?
- I think they are trying to push everyone to having to use the online version. Unfortunately that creates problems when wanting to save your work on your resident device the same as the hassle exists when using Word Mobile. I can’t understand why they think this is progress. A case of dictating that everything goes to online rather than realizing what really works best for the user.
I totally agree. Losing the Send to OneNote is enough reason for me to switch back to OneNote 2016. Bring it back. The meeting notes feature is crucial, on of the major features for oneNote, without it, it is ONEnot.
Thank you Dry Heat for the time you took to help me out.
I realised the Outlook for Windows 10 was simply not going to cut it in terms of efficiency and effectiveness so have installed Outlook 2016 and all the functionality that I was missing has been reinstated. I agree with the other posters here that without these simple integrations Onenote for Windows 10 is simply not a useful app.
Thanks all for your help - I did think I was going mad at one stage there but my brain has stopped hurting now.
Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, as of yesterday a new "Send to OneNote" icon has appeared in my Outlook that allows you to send emails to OneNote for Windows 10.
You must have the option enabled in Outlook as danielep mentioned https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/OneNote/OneNote-and-Outlook-integration/m-p/614088/highlight/true#M613
Yes thanks for adding that to this conversation - I've only just noticed that updated button yesterday but haven't quite worked out if its working as expected. I am hoping that I will be pleased with the outcome.
No worries, have found it works out much better then the OneNote 2016 implementation.
Plus, it looks like Microsoft have rolled out the "Send to OneNote" feature as an add-in for Outlook as I can see the feature available in Outlook.com for business/school and Personal accounts. No longer restricted just to the desktop apps!
Cheers.
- The Send to OneNote has always been available as an Add-on for ON2016 and it works as it had in the past, sending items directly to ON without relying on the internet. I will only use the 2016 version. The thing I miss is the same Send to OneNote from my web browser (Chrome).
They have an Add-on but it does not work with ON2016. What about calendar entries. I create meeting notes with the one click option in outlook (to one note 2016).
There is an option in OneNote for Windows 10:
Insert > Meeting Details
Select your meeting from the list and it adds the meeting details into a new OneNote page.
Then you can chose to share the page or send a copy of the page if you wish.
I reverted back to using OneNote 2016's Send to OneNote by
1. Uninstall the Window 10 OneNote store app
2. Disable "Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10" option inside Outlook > Options > Advanced > Other
3. Remove the "Send to OneNote" Outlook > Get Add-ins > My add-ins
4. Enable "Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10" option inside Outlook > Options > Advanced > Other again
