how do I add a note to an email using outlook

BTW- you have to select the "simplified" ribbon instead of the "classic" ribbon to get the ellipsis (3 dots) to show up in the upper right (possibly next to the Zoom) to see the Actions feature. This works like a charm though. Thank you.

THIS FEATURE DOESN'T EXIST AND IT'S BEEN AT LEAST ONE YEAR SINCE USERS WERE TOLD IT WILL BE REINSTATED

On your toolbar, look for the group "Move" the icon in that group that looks like a document and open envelope. Click on the arrow next to it and it will give you the option of Edit message.

Dear Omolade,

I'm not sure if you were looking for a response form me, but what I would like to know is if it's possible to add a memo only visible to myself to a message received from somebody else, that I need to reply to later.

Basically the same as when you receive a letter which has all sorts of information you are forming some ideas about on how to respond to that. And those ideas you jot down on a physical yellow post-it note.

So that when you have the time to respond to the letter carefully, you will remember the first thoughts that came up when reading the letter for the first time, which are often the most accurate and important ones (in my case at least).

So this personal reminder should NOT be sent along with the reply you ultimately come up with. Same way you would not stick the physical post-it note containing personal/initial/ thoughts in wording not suitable for a formal letter, on a physical letter of reply.

Hope this helps,

Best, PJ

Hi KerrieAnn Auclair,

Thanks for getting back.

The Notes feature on Outlook is available with Microsoft 365 versions. On your Outlook app, you should be able to use this feature.

To further isolate the problem, I recommend checking for your Office updates. In that way you can get the latest updates for your Office applications. Install Office updates - Microsoft Support

Sincerely,
