Migration Tool for Importing Evernote into OneNote

Question

Good morning, Microsoft Support Community Team!

 Is there a reputable free tool for migrating my Evernote notes to OneNote?  While I like the Microsoft suite of applications, I had stayed with Evernote due to the sheer volume of notes that I had built up there since 2014.  The free Evernote tier is not as capable nor as free anymore, which is Karma's way of telling me, "Yo, dude, it's time to take the long overdue plunge into OneNote."

 I should have made the migration to OneNote years ago since the [https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote](https://www.onenote.com/import-evernote-to-onenote "www.onenote.com") importer tool has gone 404.

Interesting - I didn't run into this problem. My only limitation is that I had to export one notebook at a time, which was the long pole in the tent in terms of the overall export process.

As a test run, I just re-exported my largest notebook, which has multiple thousands of notes (my point being that the number of notes is well over that 100-note limit you encountered). Evernote is exporting all those notes just fine without not giving me that error message.

After several weeks of using OneNote, I have three (relatively minor) complaints:

1. The mobile app (at least on the iPhone) is very sluggish when I am typing on a note (at least while I am off of Wifi and out on the 5G network). It has taken some trial-and-error to figure out that I sometimes have to wait up to 5-10 seconds for the cursor to respond to me when I am typing. It looks like the app needs some time to establish the sync connection with the appropriate servers. I haven't had this issue with the desktop version of OneNote while using it on desktop app on WiFi.

I inadvertently deleted some text because of this issue. Fortunately, the information wasn't critical enough to put me into crisis mode, which led to my second issue.

2. At least in the free version of OneNote, there is no way to undo an accidental deletion. Evernote had this same limitation.
3. It took me a few days to figure out how to save and sync my OneNote notes to my personal OneDrive folder so that I can sync OneNote from anywhere.

I couldn't get this to work at all. A notebook is imported to OneNote but it has no content at all.

I followed all the advice (e.g. making sure I imported to the right version of OneNote etc). I have paid versions of both Evernote and OneNote, so any restrictions for basic or free versions shouldn't apply.

I'm in a panic as I have to get everything moved across before 23/3/24 when Evernote closes down their legacy version of the app. Their newest version is not functional for me.

Is there any other tool I can use?

I have to admit that I am at a loss to know what to tell you to do. I just know that https://www.wikihow.com/Migrate-from-Evernote-to-OneNote worked well for me at a free OneNote user.

I have had success in recent months when a Microsoft advisor responded quickly to my questions with some helpful tips.

Instead of responding to my post, you may want to post your own thread.

Since you are paying for OneNote, then you should be able to reach out to Microsoft through the menu https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus#!.  You are (after all?) paying for Redmond to help.. I think?
