Lotus Notes to Outlook Conversion

Whether you need to convert 1 mailbox or 100,000 mailboxes, Address Magic Personal and Address Magic Enterprise (AME) provide a complete solution for migrating address books, calendars and email from Lotus Notes to Outlook. AME minimizes deployment costs with administrator mailbox access, high performance conversions and installation-free conversions. AME can convert Lotus Notes data to either an Outlook PST file, an Exchange mailbox, or a combination of the two.

Example

The best way to demonstrate the product's capabilities is with a short example. AME is command line based to simplify automation. Wizards are useful for getting started, but aren't a viable solution for migrating thousands of users.

Here's how to convert a user's address book to the Outlook Contacts folder on a client workstation:

C:\> addrload nsf pst

That's it. AME finds all of the files, finds the servers, finds the folders, the Notes ID file, the Outlook profile - it's all automatic.

Now we'll add the commands to convert the Notes archive file to a PST file, then the Domino mailbox and the calendar/tasks to the Exchange mailbox:

C:\> addrload -m nsf Archive.pst
C:\> addrload -mr nsf:server!! pst

The only prerequisites are Outlook and Lotus Notes. AME did not have to be installed or preconfigured to run the above commands.

Our support specialists will work with you during your evaluation to determine if this strategy works best for you, a server-based strategy, or some combination.
