Migration from NSF to PST is now a no sweat task

Lotus Notes is an expensive email client that not many organizations feel fits into their budget. A resonable solution that is the choice of major chunk of business organizations is MS Outlook. Outlook is a popular email client and personal information manager that that includes calendar, task manager, contact manager, notes, journals and attachments. Due to its ease of use and low maintenace cost, MS Outlook is preferred over IBM Lotus Notes.

Emails are the most important communication media used within organizations and migration from one email client to another is considered a tough gig. Microsoft has facilitated its users with a utility called 'Microsoft Transporter Suite' that exports user mailboxes from the Lotus Domino Server to Microsoft Exchange Server efficaciously. Though this tool is a matter of great relief for Lotus Notes users who want to migrate to MS Outlook, but there is a limitation of this utility. There is default maximum file size limit (4MB) of the NSF file that can be exported. A file size exceeding that limit will not be exported.

Organizations are on the look out for an effective, fast and reliable NSF to PST Converter that can migrate the entire Lotus Notes database to Outlook unfailingly. The best solution for successful NSF to PST Conversion in minimum time is through the aid of third party tools. Using NSF to PST Converter tools, emails, attachments, appointments, calendar entries, To-do lists, tasks, contacts etc. can be successfully converted to Outlook usable PST files.
