How to Convert NSF file to MBOX format?
If you’re planning to
convert Lotus Notes emails to another platform, it’s helpful to first understand what NSF and MBOX formats actually are. NSF (Notes Storage Facility) is a proprietary format used by HCL/IBM Lotus Notes. MBOX, on the other hand, is an open-source format supported by many email clients like Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and Apple Mail.
Since the two formats are structurally different, you can’t just rename the file or use basic converters. You need a tool that can parse NSF files properly and extract each email into MBOX format, preserving structure, MIME types, and attachments. That’s where tools like
eSoftTools NSF to MBOX Converter are useful — they act as a bridge between these formats, enabling compatibility with modern email platforms.
