How to Export Lotus Notes Mail Files to Outlook

Lotus notes may be a proprietary of IBM, in my previous articles, I even have discussed in short about Lotus notes and its file format. Lotus Notes supports NSF file format.MS Outlook may be a popular Email Client developed by Microsoft, it comes with Microsoft Office suite.The file format supported by Outlook is PST.

Consider a situation that you simply want to access your Lotus Notes Mails in Outlook. Both Email clients’ i.e. Lotus Notes and Outlook support different file formats. In such situation you would like to export your Lotus Notes Mail Files to Outlook.

This can be wiped out two steps:

1. Export Lotus Notes Mail Files.
2. Then, import the exported mail enter Outlook.

The step by step process is described below:

1. Export Lotus Notes Mail Files
   1. Open Lotus Notes Application.
   2. Click the “Mail” tab
   3. attend “File” option from the menu bar.
   4. Then, Click “Export” choice to start the “Export” wizard.
      After the “Export” wizard starts, you’ll get several options to settle on the format for the exported file from Lotus Notes.
   5. Choose “Tabular Text” or “Structured Text;” Both of those formats are supported by Outlook
   6. Click “Continue” to travel through the export process.
   7. Click “Export” to finish the wizard and export the mail file.
2. Import the exported mail enter Outlook.
   1. Open Microsoft Outlook application.
   2. Go to “File” menu then, click “Import and Export option.
   3. Click “Next” after the “Import and Export” wizard gets opened.
   4. Choose the format you chose to export the file as. Either Choose “Comma Separated Values (Windows)” or “Tab Separated Values (Windows)”
   5. Click “Next.”
   6. Continue through the “Export” wizard, Select and Browse the file exported from Lotus Notes.
   7. Click “Finish”.

This will end the “Import and Export” wizard and therefore the Lotus Notes file will get imported into Outlook. If you would like to avoid long sequence of steps then you’ll convert your Lotus Notes files to importable Microsoft Outlook files employing a NSF to PST converter software. These tools allow you to perform selective conversion of the Lotus Notes mailbox items; Some Conversion software also allow you to save your NSF file into MSG or EML format.
