-------------------------------------------------------There is another Lotus to Microsoft tool called NSF2PST that is a bulk Lotus Notes mail file converter designed for automated conversion.
NSF2PST, for example, allows entire Lotus Domino servers to be shut down and all the mail files to be converted to PST files.
The resulting PST files can be uploaded to Exchange, stored on a network share accessible by workstations, deployed to workstations, or left in place on workstations if converted locally.
NSF2PST also handles Lotus Notes mail Archive files.
Contact me directly if you want more information.

-------------------------------------------------------Thanks Kevin, that was very helpful. As I understand it, this creates an Outlook PST file. So with this tool, each user will be responsible for creating their own PST file and re-importing it into Outlook?
Is there a tool that can create server side PST files (i.e. ExMerge compatible) from Lotus Notes NSF files, so that we do not have to either rely on each user to do it for themselves or have to visit each workstation (across multiple geographical locations)?
For example I came across some promising and low cost shareware tools, does anyone have any experience with them?

or

Other tools like this one are super expensive, about 10x the cost of the above:

In this case, you would have to install the Outlook Connector for
Lotus Notes (or DAMO) and create a local .PST file for each mail
file in Domino. Once you do this, getting the mail file into
Exchange is relatively easy.
Note: on the Lotus side, change the mail template to one of the Web
Access templates (assuming Notes v. 6.x or higher) then synchronize
the Address Book and Journal (if used) from the client before
creating the .PST file. This will populate contacts and journal
entries in Exchange, making the transition much easier for the
users. If this isn't possible, then march on anyway.
This isn't a trivial move. Do it on a test system several times
before running it in production, since the free tools supplied don't
work flawlessly. There are multiple issues we ran into with file
size and problems with the Lotus / Exchange Migration tool that made
this task difficult.

Hi,
I need to migrate about 100 users from Lotus Notes to Exchange 2003
(not 2007). The Lotus server is in a remote network, not local
LAN. There is no possibility of connecting them on the same network
or AD. I am told that I will get the Lotus NSF files and that's
it. There is no encryption involved.
Any suggestions on how to migrate these users to Exchange? If you
have done such a migration please let me know what you did. All the
articles I have found so far appear to assume that the two servers
are in the same network and AD and that is not the case foir me.
TIA!
