Move outlook email to one note

Mail content can be directly moved to one note without destroying mail formats. Usually, when you are saving the mail content to text, it may be lost its own look. One note will maintain the exact format of mail content such as tables, bold characters, headers, etc. Also, this just one click tool rather than copy, open the notepad and paste. This might reduce the time of mail savings without losing its format. You can maintain many more mail contents like this in a hierarchical manner like the folder for one note content.

Attach the mail item to another mail

When we are sending the important mail with attachments that could be the proof of something, we will create a document with proof content and attach with mail. What if the proof is another mail? What will you do? You will copy the content from the mail and paste to another text file and attach it. This is the usual way. Also, the mail proof will lose its soul. Rather than copy and paste, you can directly attach the mail item to another mail that is you trying to send to your peer to prove something right. For instance, you are seeing something wrong in your salary slip, you need to attach the same salary mail and create a new mail request to your HR to estimate the salary again. Here is the way to attach a mail-item.
