Following a recent Office update, users started seeing a Send to OneNote button on the ribbon in their Outlook.com and Office 365 accounts. This is an Office addin and works with the Windows OneNote app, not Outlook 2016.
My problem began after a recent Office 365 update. I'm a big user of the Send to OneNote feature in Outlook. After the update Send to OneNote uses OneNote online. This is annoying for a number of reasons. What do I need to do to fix it so the button behaves like it used to?
The new OneNote add-in is called Send to OneNote and uses the new OneNote icon and is in it's own group at the end of the ribbon. The OneNote add-in installed by Outlook 2016 is simply called OneNote, is in the Move group and has the old OneNote icon.
If you use the Send to OneNote function and have the online notebook open in OneNote 2016, the page will sync down to OneNote 2016. However, because the function is tied to the mailbox you are working in, Outlook items will be sent to a notebook in that account, not to a master notebook you use with all email accounts.
If you use local notebooks in OneNote or use it with POP or IMAP accounts, you’ll need to disable the new OneNote function.
Disable Send to OneNote
To disable the new Send to OneNote command in Outlook desktop, open File > Options > Advanced. Scroll to the bottom and untick Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10, if available.
To disable it everywhere, including in Outlook on the web and in Outlook on Mac, you need to disable it in Manage Add-ins in your account online. In Outlook for Windows, go to File > Manage Add-ins (at the bottom of the screen.) This will open the account’s Manage Add-ins dialog.
Or, click the link below for your account type to open the Manage Add-ins page

I have the opposite problem, it's working with my Office 2016 OneNote instead of sending to Win10 OneNote App, while the mentioned advance setting is checked
The Win10 OneNote App is working with OneDrive linked to company Microsoft account, same as Outlook, so I don't see an issue on that direction as well
Any idea what I can do to change it ?
The email account - is it outlook.com or a business mailbox? If its not in outlook.com/office 365, you'll send to onenote 2016, not onenote online. if you disable the onenote com addin in file > options > addins, does the send to onenote button go away?
That said - i looks the send to onenote button on my outlook.com account is missing (still have it on my business accounts) - so it falls back to the com addin.
It's Office 365 but a work (business) email account, however OneNote Win10 App uses OneDrive of the same email account to backup it online, as Microsoft requires with the new App
When I disable the OneNote add-in the button indeed disappears from ribbon
Isn't there a DLL or executable to add the Win10 App as COM add-in or something ?
No, there is no a way to add it as a com addin. Sorry.
I accidentally hit "Always send e-mail notes to the selected location." and now every time I send an email to One Note it places it in the same Tab. I need to remove default so I can select the specific Tab I want the email saved in. How do I correct this issue?
You need to open Onenote 2016 and go to iFile > Options > send to onenote.
Screenshot:
Hello,
With the new button / extension (Use Send to OneNote with OneNote for Windows 10), you are invited to open the mail once captured, but it opens in OneNote online.
Is there a way to have OneNote for Windows 10 opened instead ?
No, not that i am aware of. Sorry.
when i send an email to onenote in outlook online, it shows a pop up window first for me to select a section to put it in. however i always send it to a collection section. So how do i stop the pop up window as it slows down my work.
thanks
If you are sending to onenote 2016, change the settings in file > options > send to onenote to always use a specific location for email.
When sending an email with a file attachment using the "Send to OneNote" icon, the attachment is not showing up in one note page, just the email test. There is a link back to the original email. Is there a setting that is blocking the attachment? I have office 365 on a Windows 10 but switch to One Note for Windows as a understand Microsoft if stopping support for OneNote 2016.
>> understand Microsoft if stopping support for OneNote 2016.
They reversed this decision - onenote 2016 is not going away any time soon.
Both send to onenotes are adding the entire text of the message and attachments to the onenote page.
You are a lifesaver. That was the worst "Update" ever. Slow and not searchable.
I've noticed that I can "send to onenote" in notebooks I've created, but not a shared notebook a colleague created that I have fully editing rights to. Is this correct? I get the following error message:
We're sorry. We couldn't create your page. Please try again later. Details

That is correct. Now it may change in the future - previously, you could only save to notebooks in the account the message was in. I can now choose any notebook in any account I have signed in to onenote on my computer.
How can I disable it company wide? the Sent to OneNote modern add-in in Outlook?
You would need to disable the option to allow users to install addins in the admin panel.
