Convert HCL Notes .nsf to Outlook .pst for Free!
Switching from HCL Notes (formerly Lotus Notes) to Microsoft Outlook has become increasingly common, especially as more individuals and organizations move toward the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. However, one of the biggest challenges users face is converting HCL Notes’ .nsf files to Outlook’s .pst format—because these two applications use completely different storage file types.
There are a couple of free options users can try. The manual method involves using the built-in export feature in HCL Notes to create a CSV or structured text file, which you can then import into Outlook. This method works well for contacts and a limited number of emails but falls short when you're trying to convert entire mailboxes, including calendars, attachments, and folder hierarchies.
For those looking for a more efficient and reliable solution—especially when converting complete mailboxes or handling large NSF files—a dedicated conversion tool can make a huge difference. For example, the
eSoftTools NSF to PST Converter Software is often recommended because it allows you to convert NSF files directly into PST without losing any data, and supports batch file processing as well. While the tool isn’t completely free, it does offer a demo version that allows conversion of a limited number of items from each folder, which is a good way to test its capabilities before making any purchase.
