Hey, I've managed this migration for a few small businesses, so I can offer some advice. When you say "convert Lotus Notes to Outlook," you're talking about a full migration of mailbox data.

You have two paths: manual and automated.

The Manual Path: This involves setting up both clients, then painstakingly exporting data from Lotus Notes (usually as CSV files for contacts/calendars) and importing them into Outlook. I strongly advise against this for anything other than a handful of contacts. For emails, it’s a nightmare. You'll lose metadata, folder structures, and risk data corruption. Trust me, you don't want to explain to your boss why half his calendar is missing.

The Automated Path (Recommended): Use a professional migration tool. This is the only way to ensure a seamless transition with 100% data integrity.

The tool our IT team uses and recommends is eSoftTools NSF to PST Converter. It’s built specifically for this migration task. It handles everything:

  • Emails with attachments: Preserves all of them.
  • Folder Hierarchy: Your folders in Outlook will look exactly like they did in Lotus Notes.
  • All Mailbox Items: Contacts, Calendars, Tasks, Notes, Journals—it converts them all accurately.
  • Bulk Conversion: You can convert multiple NSF files at once if you're managing a team migration.
It just makes the whole Lotus Notes to Outlook transition incredibly smooth and stress-free.
