    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/EmailToOneNote

     

    Briefly, 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.

As I wrote I installed OneNote 2016 for the purpose of re-enabling the integration I used for a long time.

 

My point was that it is required to install the 2016 version instead of using the lasted OneNote from O365. The missing integration between the tools is a major flaw and if Office 2016 reaches EOL or the availability gets pulled and the latest OneNote will not support such an integration I won't use it anymore.

 

Thanks for the instructions though which may help someone who doesn't know it already.

    I agree. I downloaded the installation package for ON 2016 and save it for install on all new PCs I get. Unfortunately, there will be a time when Windows updates will make incompatible. When that happens I will discontinue using ON.
