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.

    That has been my workaround, but I am worried that they will eventually phase out classic altogether. Hopefully they fix this first.

    Yeah, I had the same issue. I just keep Outlook CLASSIC running in the background at all times. Seems to work if you do that. It's like starting an old car in freezing tempetures, gotta keep it running to work.

    An update that sets OneNote to spit out a .eml file and having the new Outlook set as the default app for .eml would fix this, no?

    It's sad too, because over 200 people have said they are having this same issue on my original post, but we have to vote on feedback to expect a change. Not a great system.
