Email to OneNote
nvm, this service has been discontinued starting March 2025
Every couple of years I ask “re-discover” why I don’t use email to OneNote. I’m writing this down to help my future self.
tl;dr: Email to OneNote works for outlook email, it does not work for gmail. Work arounds do work.
How to set up:
- https://www.onenote.com/EmailSettings. You’ll need to sign in. Here you can set up which email you’d like to use to email to OneNote.
- Send any email you want to show up in OneNote using me@onenote.com
If you are using an outlook.com email you can stop here. It’s going to work.
If you are using gmail, it will not work, workarounds can work. To summeraize:
What will work:
- Using an outlook.com email address
What does not work:
- Emailing me@onenote from gmail
- Forwarding to outlook.com address, and setting up a rule to forward to onenote
Workarounds that will work, if you need it to reeeeeally work from gmail:
- Third party-services like ifttt, zapier or PowerApps
