how do I add a note to an email using outlook

Like others on this thread I also can't find the note button on the outlook ribbon. I'm using Microsoft Outlook 365 exchange on both Windows, Mac and iOS. I would like the facility to add a note to an email to jot down some initial thoughts whilst not replying to the email straight away. Is this possible using the Notes function or is there a way to do this with Microsoft To Do? Look forward to your reply soon thank you.

Can you affix this to a particular email to provide yourself details about the follow up. I am seeking something similar to what you can do in excel: where you can add a "comment".

I know that you can set a reminder and enter a note there - but I have to set a reminder to use this, I don't always want to set a reminder.

I also know that I can utilize the "Notes" under options. I dont want "separate notes" that require me to leave my emails and figure out which note pertains, if that were needed - I would just use an actual separate notepad or word doc.

I want to know if something exists in Outlook where I could hover over an email or click on the email and be able to write in and pull up any personal notes I have about the email. Ex. I have put a flag to follow up - but what am i waiting on to follow up? What are some details about the convo I need to remember that I want to refer to?

This MUST exist?

Thanks!!

Where is this button? How does it look? I can't find it.

Reynaldo,

Can you please share a screenshot where this button is located?

I search for it in All commands and there is no "Notes" button to be added:

I am also searching for the "Notes" button and am unable to find it. This would be such a great tool!
