How To Solve The Error, “OneNote Needs To Set Itself Up Before You Can Send To It.”

That is a normal prompt from Microsoft OneNote and will appear if it is the first time you’ll be using it. When you see the prompt “OneNote needs to set itself up before you can send to it,” just click “OK.” After this, you need to enable or activate Microsoft OneNote. Click “Start,” “All Programs,” “Microsoft Office,” and then select “OneNote.”

Activate Microsoft OneNote

After this, Microsoft OneNote is now enabled. Close it and go back to Microsoft Office Outlook. Once Microsoft OneNote is activated, you should not see the message again.

You can also select multiple emails and send them all at once to Microsoft OneNote. Once you’ve selected the email, under “Home” tab, in the “Move” group, click “OneNote.”
