[Feature Released in Version 10.4] Restore Email a note copy

[nonenone 22]

I frequently email my notes. Not share the link to my notes, but email my complete note. That feature had already been eliminated from the web version of Evernote, and it has now disappeared from the new iOS version. Is that a bug? Emailing notes is an important part of my work process, and if Evernote is going to eliminate that feature and rely exclusively on sharing notes, then I’ll have to reconsider whether I want to remain a paying customer, after many years of doing so (since May 2010, according to my profile).

Of course, this is on top of other issues with the new version of Evernote for iOS, including the formatting bugs, the elimination of the last used notebooks, the three colorful and “helpful” buttons for upgrade (bright yellow), edit (bright blue), and new note (bright green) (more distracting than anything helpful), the difficulties selecting a note (touching it on the left-hand side menu and not being selected). Going for a more “modern” look at the expense of functionality doesn’t seem to be a great move...

That's correct. This is an ios thread. 10.4 is the ios version where this feature will return.

10.6 is the desktop version with this feature. You can update to 10.6 by installing it from here: evernote.com/download

I am on 10.6.9 on my Mac, and it still does not have the option for Email the note.  Now someone just said you MUST BE A PREMIUM member to have this feature.  Was this option changed to Premium members only?  Because I have been using Evernote free version for almost 15 years WITH the Email Note feature the entire time.  If this is true, it would explain much of the confusion.

And if that's how it is, I will continue to use Evernote Legacy, it still has the Email Note feature. I don't care much for the new look anyway.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. You're right; we have taken this feature out of the new release. The thinking is that the "invite someone" affordance accomplishes the same thing because it emails the note.

Would you love your feedback on how "invite someone" does/doesn't meet your needs.

For what it's worth, our new design is pretty similar to Google docs (they also don't have a separate "email a copy" button.)

This is not about use cases. Let me answer in a way analogous to what I believe Steve Jobs would do: there is something elegant about seeing the Evernote logo and shared note in an email. I have had people go "oh wow that is cool". So, forget the use case and look at how delicate such a dish is. You should bring it back instead of thinking from a functional point of view only. Bring it back, and make it bold and beautiful like before.
