You have years of mail, contacts and calendar entries sitting in Outlook PST files, and your organization is moving to Lotus Notes. Retyping or forwarding messages one by one is not an option. PST to Notes File Converter is built for this job: it reads PST files and writes the contents out as NSF files that Lotus Notes can use.
Quick facts
- Version: 6.0
- Platform: Windows
- Price: $129 for a personal license, $229 for a business license
- Trial: free demo that converts 15 items from each mail folder
- Output: Lotus Notes NSF files
Key features
Move Outlook mail, drafts, tasks and contacts into NSF
The converter takes your Outlook inbox files and other items such as drafts, tasks and contacts and saves them in NSF format, so you can open them in Lotus Notes.
Keep the full message details
Conversion carries across the complete meta-data of each message, including the to, cc and bcc fields.
Handle both configured and orphan PST files
It works on PST data that is attached to an Outlook profile and on orphan PST files that are not.
A short, simple workflow
You open the program, click Export Mailbox, click Start Conversion, then pick the folder where the converted NSF files should be saved.
Who it's for
It suits you if you are an administrator or an individual user moving from Outlook to Lotus Notes and you hold your mail in PST files. It is a one-purpose tool, so it is not meant for general PST viewing or repair.
