how do I add a note to an email using outlook

What I have figured out is how to create a note for myself at the top of an email by going to "follow UP" > and where it says "Flag To" you can write a note there and it will appear at the top of the email so it is very helpful to you can type in 'next steps' etc. It is limited spacing though.

This is how it appears when you click on the email...

For anyone following this thread I have just noticed it is archived and unmonitored so I have made another here:

I have the same question. I have looked everywhere for the "Notes" button on Microsoft Outlook desktop. I have the version Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, Version 2309 Build 16827.20278. I have looked on the desktop as well as logged on to the 365 web version and do not find it either place. Please help

I do not see an EDIT button when I click the dots...

Jess,

Yes, that is what I used to do also. But few concerns:

1. This is editing the message itself. If I forward this message or reply to it, my note will be included as an integral part of the message itself.
2. This is available in the old desktop Outlook only. It is not available in Outlook New or Outlook as a web page.

So this is still not the solution I expect.

I expect the possibility to add a note to a message that is visible for me only and not as a part of the message.
