Convert NSF to PST free
There are two ways of doing it. We will suggest trying both and then figuring out which works best for you. Make sure to create a separate profile on Outlook to verify if everything works as expected, and then move to actual profile.
1] Using CSV or Tab Separated Values Method
The process is straightforward. You need to export the Lotus Notes Mail files, and then import the exported mail file in Outlook. Export from Lotus
Open Lotus Notes, and then click on the Mail tab.Go to File > Export, click on it.The export wizard will give you two options— Tabular Text and Structured Text. Since both are CSV and Outlook supports it, feel free to choose any of them.Click on continue, save it with a name and location you can remember.
Import the CSV file in Outlook
Open Microsoft OutlookClick on File > Open & Export > Import/ExportIn the Wizard that opens, choose Import from another program or file, and then click on next.Select Comma Separated Values, and click on next again.Now you can choose to browse, and select the file, and then decide if you want duplicates to be created or skip them.Next, select the Outlook folder where you want to save your exported data and click Next.
Post this; you will have to match the Lotus Fields with Outlook fields, so the data is imported in the current Outlook profile. It is the tricky part so map everything correctly, and that’s the primary reason I was asking to try it out somewhere, and then import it.
2] Free NSD to PST tool

If you get an exception, you need to manage it manually, i.e., missing emails. You need to export it as an EML file, and then manually open it and import it directly.
