How to Import Lotus Notes Mail into Microsoft 365

There is no doubt that Lotus Notes is a reliable email client and has dominated an era of email service, but now the time and technology both have changed. Nowadays, Lotus Notes users are frequently moving into Microsoft 365 to get advanced features and increase their productivity. Several reasons initiate users to import Lotus Notes Mail into Microsoft 365 mailboxes. Whatever the reason, you cannot move multiple Lotus Notes NSF files manually; it’s like a walk on eggshells.

What are possible ways to Import Lotus Notes into Microsoft 365?

There are two options for you; one is to utilize a manual solution that includes converting NSF files to CSV and then uploading CSV to Outlook. Another way is using third-party Lotus Notes to Office 365 migration tool.

Manually the process gets complicated and time-consuming as you can do multiple imports, and also it has three phases to get the PST file of NSF data. These three phases are as follows:

• Export Lotus Notes data into CSV file.

• Import CSV files into Outlook.

• Import Outlook data into PST file

Besides this, if you’re a non-techy, you may lose your data as manually a little misstep results in file corruption.
