IBM Lotus Notes is a popular email client used by several organizations and professionals across the globe for business communications. However, IBM Lotus Notes is quite expensive and lacks several features that less expensive email clients, such as MS Outlook offers. Plus, Lotus Notes is a bit complex, doesn’t support multiple accounts at a time, and difficult to maintain. Unlike Outlook, it requires technical knowledge to manage IBM Lotus Notes.
Thus, many IBM Lotus Notes users and organizations often look for methods to migrate their emails and mailbox items when they shift from IBM Lotus Notes to MS Outlook. However, IBM Lotus Notes (.NSF) and Outlook (.PST/.OST) use two different formats to store mailbox data and aren’t compatible with each other. Therefore, to migrate the mailbox from Lotus Notes to Outlook, you must convert the NSF file created by Lotus Notes to Outlook importable PST format.
As there’s no option in Lotus Notes to export mailbox items to Outlook or Outlook supported PST format, an NSF to PST converter software, such as Stellar Converter for NSF, is required to securely convert NSF files to PST.
After conversion, you may import the PST file to any Outlook profile and access the mailbox items, such as emails, attachments, contacts, etc.
