I am commonly asked how to use Address Magic Enterprise PLUS to convert Notes to Outlook archive, an address book, and a server-based mailbox are all in different NSF files. The solution is to provide a separate conversion path between each source and destination.
Most users want to do the following conversions:
- Convert the Lotus Notes names.nsf file to the default Outlook Contacts folder in the Exchange mailbox.
- Convert the Lotus Notes a_xxx.nsf archive file to a PST file on the user’s local hard drive.
- Convert the messages and calendar in the Lotus Notes server-side mailbox to the Exchange mailbox.
Performing these three conversions requires the following three command lines:
Addrload nsf pst
Addrload -mrv nsf:server!! pst
Addrload -mv nsf Archive.pst
The first command converts the names.nsf address book, the second command converts the server-side messages and calendar, and the third command converts the Lotus Notes archive to a PST file in the default Outlook data directory.
You would normally place all three command lines in a batch file so that they will be run all together.
Address Magic Enterprise PLUS provides the flexibility you need to convert Notes to Outlook, supporting virtually any required mapping from folders to mailboxes or PST files. You can also convert to files on file servers, non-default contacts folders, PST files at a particular path, or non-default mailboxes.
