Converting NSF (Lotus Notes) files to PST (Outlook) format involves moving your emails, contacts, calendars, and other data from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook. Here are the general steps for performing this conversion:
Method 1: Using IBM Notes (formerly Lotus Notes) and Microsoft Outlook
Install IBM Notes (Lotus Notes) and Microsoft Outlook:
Make sure you have both email clients installed on your computer.
Export NSF Data from IBM Notes:
Open IBM Notes and go to the File menu.
Select "Export" and choose the data you want to export (e.g., mail, contacts, calendar).
Specify the export location and file format (CSV or structured text).
Complete the export process and save the exported data.
Import Data to Microsoft Outlook:
Open Microsoft Outlook.
Depending on the type of data you exported (mail, contacts, calendar), you will have different import options.
For emails, you can use the "Import and Export" option in Outlook's File menu. Choose "Import from another program or file" and follow the prompts.
For contacts, you can use the "Import and Export" option to import from a CSV file.
For the calendar, you can use the same "Import and Export" option to import events from a CSV file or other compatible format.
