asked on
import Outlook msf to Lotus client...
Hello all,
Our sales force uses Lotus (r5) as mail client.
We don't use Lotus as mail server but Exchange. Lotus
is configured in the way to send/receive via Exchange
SMTP/POP connector.
Some of them used to work with Outlook and they have
a lot of messages they don't want ot lose.
I have saved these messages in a PST file.
Is there any way to import this PST except via telephone
(They have too many messages to import).
Thanx,
WW

Hi,
Yes I want to copy the PST file... in the laptop, not in a
Domino server (I don't have server).
All these sites concern the case we want to migrate from
Exchange to Domino server.
Copying the PST to the laptop is not a problem, files are
on a CD.
Thanx,

Hum...
Iam trying to be more clear :
people have :
- a laptop,
- Lotus notes installed,
- a CD with outlook archives (PST)
They want a way to read that PST file :
- from the CD or from the hard disk.

Hello WW,
I do not think there is a tool opening users pst files and moving anywhere.
Only realisting scenario is this:
User has on his laptop both installed: NotesClient and OutlookClient
In Notes clinet executables directory is the program: NUPGRADE.EXE
Invoke it with: nupgrade.exe 3
It should show you the dialog screen LotusNotesUpgradeserviceMS
Second screen is the selector of wath to migrate. And there you can select between MicrosoftOutlook or MSExchangeSettings
The only uption for you is moving the complete Outlook folders (with pst file opened in Outlook) to a Notes mailfile.
Therefore is my opinion that doing this by you for your customers would hardly work.
Do I miss something?

Hello WW,
If you are too generous to your customer, then this scenario would work.
1.) You get one, several, or all customer PST file to your workstation.
2.) You mount every PST file as different personal folder on your Outlook client.
3.) You start the conversion of mounted PST files by invoking: nupgrade.exe 3
4.) After every run of nupgrade you move the result file. Name of this conversion result file is: a_shortname.nsf
5.) In this result file (archive) are the former personal PST folder now organized as folders.
6.) You make as many copies of this archive as folders are present and delete in every copy all but one folder.
7.) Every copy with one folder give a new NSF name to have it distinguished name.
8.) Send this single folder NSF files to the customers.
This is a lot of work to do and only for someone who has to be punished for something really worse :-)
It is up to you to offer, or not to offer this service to customer.
Good luck,
Zvonko
PS: try first with three or less PST files to get some idea of tremendous time and disk space consumption of nupgrade.exe :-)
