If you are also among those people\nwho have been working with Microsoft Outlook and are still looking for\nimporting your data to Lotus Notes, then this blog is totally meant for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more people are using email\napplication, the more choices are being available to them. Selecting email\nclient totally depends upon user’s and organizations choice of accessibility\nand flexibility features. Two most popular and widely used email clients are\nMicrosoft Outlook and IBM Notes. Both the email clients are full of features\nbut their functionalities differ in few areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
File Storage-<\/strong> Lotus Notes (IBM Notes) stores data in NSF file format\nwhile Microsoft Outlook saves their email messages and other information in PST\nfile format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Server- Lotus Notes is hosted by IBM\nDomino while Outlook is hosted by Microsoft (main server). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Platform Compatibility- <\/strong>In terms of compatibility Lotus Notes shows more\ncompatibility than Outlook. Outlook is compatible only with Windows Operating\nSystem while Notes is compatible with Linux and supports Z and i5 O.S<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cost<\/strong>– For installing Microsoft Outlook you don’t have to pay as\nit comes within the Microsoft Office Suite. You only have to install some applications\nfor setting an email account but IBM Notes is quite expensive in terms of both\ninstallation as well as maintenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Security-<\/strong> When we talk of security Lotus notes is more secure than MS\nOutlook. You can encrypt your email to restrict the unauthorized accessibility\nwhile MS Outlook does not allow mail encryption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to more enhanced features of\nLotus Notes, users might migrate from Outlook to Lotus Notes. But this\nmigration of outlook to lotus requires a change in the file format from PST to\nNSF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to import PST to NSF file\nFormat?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Use nUpgrade.exe to convert your\npersonal mail data and contacts from Microsoft Outlook to IBM Notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Steps to Use nUpgrade.exe for PST to\nNSF Conversion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong>: Choose Command Prompt or press Window+R button. Then Type\ncmd.exe <\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2:<\/strong> Now you have to change to the Lotus Notes client program\ndirectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then type the directory path where\nthe Upgrade Wizard (nUpgrade.exe) is located. Type command: drive:\\Program\nFiles\\IBM\\Lotus\\Notes and click on Enter. And then, write the command\nnupgrade.exe 3 on your system to launch the Upgrade Wizard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3:<\/strong> The Upgrade Wizard will appear on your screen. Then Click\nNext to continue to continue the further process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4:<\/strong> Now you can select the Outlook profile linked to the file\n(PST or PAB) which you want to convert. Then again click Next to continue the\nfurther process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5:<\/strong> Now choose your upgrade method in which you want Lotus\nNotes Upgrade to converts your personal files and data. You can select either\nExpress or Custom option. Go to Next to continue the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong>: If you opted for the Custom option of Upgrade Method, then\nyou can select the specific items which you want to migrate to IBM Notes. But\nif you have opted for Express option of Upgrade Method, this will automatically\nconvert all the files, i.e. both PST. The Upgrade Wizard will create the new\nIBM Notes database in an email folder just below the Notes client data\ndirectory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 7<\/strong> Begin Upgrade screen will appear on the system, just click\nFinish to begin the process. Once the process begins, you need to provide the\nIBM Notes User ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 8<\/strong>: Once the migration is done, you\u2019ll be notified.
