OneNote "Email Page" function not working with new Outlook

I conducted a meeting yesterday and sent out my notes with the Email Page function in OneNote.

This morning, I looked through my sent emails in the New Outlook and couldn't find the sent notes anywhere. Additionally, I didn't have them in my inbox either, which I would have expected since I was also an attendee.

Resent them this morning, thinking I must have forgotten to send them, but realized that the email window that opens when I click "Email Page" is from the old outlook. Opened the old outlook, and it instantly sent both my notes from yesterday AND my resent notes.

So basically, if you don't leave the old Outlook open, it seems you can't expect OneNote to actually email out your pages, even if you clicked send. The old outlook has to be opened up for the send to actually happen.

This needs to be fixed quickly. Believing that you sent something that never went out is a good way to set people up for failure.

    So will this functionality in OneNote be going away with the new Outlook?

    I use this all the time. I would consider it critical to my workflow. While my OneNote is shared in my Teams/SharePoint, my team members appreciate receiving the email with the meeting notes right after the call.

    But what is really frustrating about this is sending an email of notes that just never goes out. If you are using New Outlook, OneNote shouldn't be pretending to allow you to send out notes using the Email function if it doesn't work.

    I have recently switched back to the “Old Outlook” because it works with the “Send to OneNote” workflow.

    When I asked Copilot to compare the new and old Outlook, I learned that the “old Outlook” has more robust features than the “new Outlook.”. I think the “new Outlook” is basically the web version of Outlook.

    My workflow is same as Tim describes. Critical to my taking notes while hosting a meeting then sending the notes out to the meeting distribution upon close of the meeting. All my meetings are structured around using OneNote.

    Quite unhappy to find this functionality quietly discontinued without notice.

    The whole coupling of OneNote with Outlook is on the brink because the New Outlook doesn't support the COM architecture.

    There's trouble ahead 😣

    Let's wait and see what the professional customers have to say......
