Chapter 10: Outlook and OneNote Belong Together

How many emails do you have in your inbox that refer to a project you have notes on? Probably many! OneNote has become the one place to store everything around a topic or project, so naturally, OneNote supports attaching emails to your notes. The big benefit you get is less clutter in your inbox and more organization for your notes. You can also take a page of the notes that you are working on within OneNote and email it to a colleague.

When you're booking a meeting in Outlook, you can access that same meeting to record notes in your OneNote notebook. You will find out how in this chapter.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Sending emails from Outlook to OneNote
  • Using [email protected] to create a new note using email
  • Sending a copy of a OneNote page via email
  • Connecting Outlook appointments to OneNote

By the end of this chapter, you will know how to send an email from Outlook to OneNote...
