Use the new Notes Add-in for Outlook to add notes to messages and appointments in Outlook. The add-in uses Outlook note items, so all notes are stored in the "Notes" folder within Outlook. This keeps your notes private and away from messages and appointments your colleagues can see.

When adding a note to a message or appointment a link between the two is created. When opening the message or appointment at a later time, the note will be opened as well.Screenshot Adding a note is easy. Open a message or appointment and press the "View Notes" button in the command bar. The note will be displayed right next to the window and will stay there if you move the window.
