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:
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.

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.
Gerardo D'Amico It was found the latest version of OneNote does not work with Outlook. This is a very bad problem. The 2016 version still works. I have deleted the latest version of OneNote and am using the 2016 version and everything works. My wish is Microsoft fixes this soon.
- 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.
Thank you! Not as nice as having a "button" in Outlook but it is a adequate work around for me.
