I quickly got lost in the fixed tree structure in UR. A hoisting ability (like ADM) would help. I don’t find OneNote as difficult, with substantially more data today than I ever had in UR (thanks to the easier importing from diverse sources). However, I am concerned going forward, as ON only displays one row of section headings. When you have more than can be accommodated in one row (say, 8-10 sections depending on screen resolution and length of titles), you have to scroll. Maybe I’ll get used to that. Another way to deal with it, of course, is to use notebooks or sections of sections so that a one-row display is sufficient.
Both I and others have suggested multiple rows of section headings (if needed) as a desirable improvement in the OneNote discussion group within the Microsoft Office site.

Thanks for your responses Ray.
One last question - what do you do with emails you want to archive?
- Inside OneNote?
- Link to OneNote?
- Leave archived in Outlook?
- Some other solution?

Stavros, I think the best note taking software is Zoot & I have tried/tested/played with/licensed most of them at one time or another

I generally import key e-mails into OneNote rather than leaving them in Outlook and linking them into One Note. They are then kept as needed in OneNote, then discarded when the need has ended. I also leave them in Outlook, where most of my e-mail is automatically deleted after three months.

Ray, the suggestion for the ability to hoist has certainly been made to UR many times.
ADM not only hoists on topic, but you can select on the basis of key words, which provides another way to get at the data.
MDE InfoHandler allows you to select on the basis of one or more key words called categories.
And as Jan has pointed out in another post, Zoot is probably the best note-take around.
