Migrating from HCL Notes (Lotus Notes) to Outlook can be challenging due to the difference in file formats—Notes uses NSF, while Outlook works with PST. A common manual method involves exporting NSF files to CSV format and then importing them into Outlook using the Import/Export Wizard. However, this method often results in data loss, missing email metadata, altered folder structure, and detached attachments. Additionally, tools like Microsoft’s Transporter Suite are outdated and may not fully support modern versions of Notes and Outlook, making them unreliable for large-scale migrations.
To ensure a secure and efficient migration, users can rely on eSoftTools NSF to PST Converter. This software directly converts NSF files to PST, preserving all email properties, folder hierarchy, and attachments. It supports bulk migration, selective conversion, and offers a preview option, allowing users to check their NSF files before exporting. The tool simplifies the process by eliminating manual steps and providing a one-click conversion solution for transferring HCL Notes emails, contacts, and calendars to Outlook without any risk of data loss.
