Retrieving Lotus Notes contacts to Outlook is not so easy as there are no technical tricks to perform. But if you have the best Lotus Notes to Outlook converter tool then you can easily transfer Lotus Notes contacts to Outlook. In this article, I cover the whole process of importing Lotus Notes address book to Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010, 2007, and 2003 versions-
Powerful Solution: Download eSoftTools Lotus Notes to Outlook Converter Software to migrate bulk lotus notes contacts in one go.
As you already know, Lotus Notes stores all types of data including Contacts/ Address book in a single file.NSF format. These.NSF files are only accessible by IBM Lotus Notes and if you want to transfer contacts from Lotus Notes to outlook, then download Lotus Notes to Outlook Converter Software and follow a few steps, and convert entire NSF contacts.
Here I demonstrate to you both the Manual and Automated Processes of Lotus Notes Contacts Migration-
Manual Process of IBM Lotus Notes Contacts Migration
Follow these below steps and manually export contacts from Lotus Notes-
- Launch the Lotus Notes application.
- Open the Contact Page in Lotus Notes (Where all your contacts are stored)
- Click on File >> Export
- Choose the file name of your exported file and the saving location
- Select “All Documents“
- Click on the OK button to finish it.
The Lotus Notes takes a few moments to export the entire contact details into a CSV file because the IBM Lotus Notes email client allows you to export notes contacts into a CSV file only.
Once you get the CSV file, then import these files into your MS Outlook.
The manual process is not always good and the results may vary from the original contacts. You may suffer from missing contact fields and data. So we never recommend going with data losses.
