This might be a reason, but the search features in Outlook are really
powerful too. They are index-based as is the search in ON (if Windows
Desktop Search [WDS] is installed).

OneNote not really is an instrument for organize one's mail.
I would not use ON (the most used application in my system) for storing
and organizing mails.
It's good for keeping a certain subset of mails together with other
items belonging to a certain subject. The strength on ON to be a store
for things from different origin can be made use of this way.
But IMO it's not an instrument for archiving mails.

The latter is what I am doing. I keep the mails in their place in
Outlook and just put copies in ON.
