In the present communication era, most of the business activities are carried out through emails. There are many email clients such as Lotus Notes, MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Novell GroupWise and others that cater varied communication needs of business organizations. Each email client has specific file format and mail server. Lotus Notes save user emails, contacts and other data in NSF file format and use Lotus Domino Server in multi-user work places. However, NSF database cannot be accessed in other email environment such as MS Outlook that save user mailbox items in the PST file format.

Why NSF to PST Migration?

Many individuals and organizations prefer to migrate into the MS Outlook from Lotus Notes because of following reasons:

• Complex feature of Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino Server
• Small email storage capacity of Lotus Notes database or NSF file
• Non-availability of inbuilt email recovery options in Lotus Notes
• High database maintenance cost of the Lotus Domino Server

If you need to convert few mailboxes of your Lotus Domino Server to MS Exchange platform, MS Exchange Server includes Exchange migration Wizard that supports the conversion of few email accounts of a Lotus Domino Server to MS Outlook or Exchange Server.

Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for Domino

These server components are accessed through their respective client components only - Domino server is accessed using Lotus Notes and Exchange Server is accessed using Outlook. It is right to say that earlier there weren’t attempts either from IBM or Microsoft to enable their servers to be accessed by the client of the other, probably because of these two products being rivals in the market. However, later it changed. Now a Microsoft connector application - Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for Domino - is available with the help of which you can access Domino Server files in Outlook.
