I'm looking for the way to convert my Outlook email archive (.pst) to Lotus Notes mail file (.nsf). I found that there is some commercial 3rd party tool doing this job which is too expensive for me. Is there any good and manual way to convert .pst to .nsf or to move my mail data from Outlook to Lotus Notes ?

When you use an IMAP account (or sign up for a large one like at Outlook.com or Gmail), then you can configure that account in both Lotus Notes and Outlook and move all your messages to that account in Outlook so it will sync to Notes.

Once everything is in Notes, you can opt to continue with that IMAP account or copy everything out of it and remove it and continue with your own account.

Hello Andy,

I have found a post on IBM Lotus Notes Website:

There are some free tools available on the above link.

Thanks

Hi andy
Here is a free utility to convert Outlook to Lotus Notes known as Nupgrade.exe. With the help of this tool you will easily transfer Outlook data to Lotus Notes. With this tool you will need to remember few things like: 
The Upgrade Wizard is not installed with the Notes client, by default. To obtain the Upgrade Wizard, perform a custom install of the Notes client and select to install the Migration Tools components.
Confirm that Microsoft Outlook is configured on the workstation as "Corporate or Workgroup" instead of "Internet Mail Only"
Confirm that Microsoft Outlook is configured as the default mail application on the workstation.
Verify which Outlook .pst files are linked to a profile on that workstation.

After that with the help of few easy steps you will easily convert Outlook PST to Lotus Notes:

1. Open a Command Prompt window by selecting Start --> Run and then type in:

      cmd.exe 

2. Change to the Notes client program directory. For example: 

    cd program files\lotus\notes

3. Enter the following command to launch the Upgrade Wizard: 

   Nupgrade.exe 3 

4. Click "Next" to continue past the Welcome Screen. 

5. Select your profile that is linked to the .PST and .PAB files to be migrated and then click "Next" to continue. 

6. Specify the type of Upgrade Method to be performed, either "Express" or "Custom", and then click "Next" to continue. 

Note: If you select "Custom", on the following screen, you can specify which items that you want to convert to Notes. However, if you select "Express" (the default upgrade method), all .PST files and .PAB files linked to the selected profile will be converted to Notes. 

7. Click "Next" to accept the defaults for Personal Folder Conversion Options. By default, the Upgrade Wizard will convert the contents of .PST files into a Notes database based on the default mail template (e.g., Mail6.ntf). The Notes database created by the upgrade wizard is created in a Mail folder below the Notes client data directory. 

8. Select "Finish" to begin the conversion process when you reach the begin upgrade screen. Once the Upgrade Wizard begins the conversion process, you will need to supply the password for the Notes User ID.

But if your MS Outlook account is connected is Internet Mail Only then you will need to use a third party tool like Outlook to Notes Converter which easily convert Outlook data to Lotus Notes file format. Because a right third party tool is always guarantee for secure data conversion process. Read more: http://www.en.psttonsf.org

To get instant solution for converting MS Outlook PST files to Lotus Notes NSF, try 3rd-party tool Kernel for Outlook to Lotus Notes Converter Software.
