Question details

The user wants to know how to use the 'Send Page by Email' feature in OneNote to share meeting minutes specifically using the new version of Microsoft Outlook.

Product: Microsoft OneNote and Outlook
Device & OS: not provided
Scenario: Attempting to email a page or meeting minutes directly from the OneNote desktop application.
Observed behavior: The 'Send Page by Email' command relies on classic Outlook and cannot be configured to launch the new Outlook, preventing users from emailing pages natively through the new interface.

Before you start

Verify whether you have both classic Outlook and the new Outlook installed on your system, as current OneNote integration relies on the classic desktop client.

Solution 1Recommended

Manually Copy and Paste into New Outlook

Since direct integration is currently unsupported, manually copying your meeting minutes into a new email is the most reliable workaround.

While it adds a manual step, copying the content directly preserves most of your text formatting and avoids the need to switch email clients.

Select the notes

Open OneNote and navigate to the page containing your meeting minutes. Click anywhere on the page and press Ctrl+A to select all the content.

Copy the content

Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected meeting minutes to your clipboard.

Compose a new email

Open the new Outlook client and click on the 'New Email' button in the top left corner to start drafting a message.

Paste and send

Click into the body of the email and press Ctrl+V to paste your notes. Add your recipients and click 'Send'.

Formatting Check: Some advanced OneNote formatting elements (like specific table styles) might look slightly different when pasted into an Outlook email body.

Solution 2

Switch Back to Classic Outlook

Reverting to classic Outlook restores the native 'Send Page by Email' functionality built into OneNote.

Solution 3

Submit Microsoft Feedback

Let Microsoft know that new Outlook integration is important by submitting or voting for the feature request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't the OneNote email feature work with new Outlook?

Microsoft has not yet integrated the legacy COM add-ins and APIs used by OneNote's 'Send Page by Email' feature into the web-based architecture of the new Outlook client. It currently only communicates with the classic Outlook desktop app.

Will Microsoft update OneNote to support new Outlook?

While there is no official timeline provided by Microsoft, they are actively monitoring user feedback. Users are encouraged to vote for this integration on the Microsoft Feedback portal to help prioritize its development.

Can I have both classic and new Outlook installed at the same time?

Yes, you can run both versions simultaneously. You can use the new Outlook for your daily email management while keeping classic Outlook accessible specifically for integrations like OneNote's email feature.

Is there an alternative way to share OneNote pages without email?

Instead of sending a static email, you can share the entire OneNote notebook or generate a sharing link. Click the 'Share' button in the top right corner of OneNote and enter the email addresses of your colleagues to grant them direct access to the live notes.
