XitNotes Help

XitNotes lets you migrate your Lotus Notes 5, 6, 7 or 8 (or 4.5 or 4.6 with Notes 5 client) and above mail to Microsoft Outlook/Exchange.

HELP

You must have the following installed on your PC to run XitNotes:

• Outlook 97 or above (i.e. Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007)
• and Lotus Notes 5 or above (client, server not required)

You can not convert files if you do not have both programs loaded.

Don't have Lotus Notes?

You must have it. For evaluation you can download a fully functional non expiring trial copy of the Lotus Notes Client software from IBM at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/downloads/ls/lsndad in the Trials and Betas section. There is no software available that will convert Lotus Notes files (NSF Files) without Lotus Notes loaded.

Where to find help?

Please see the help menu in XitNotes for full information on how to use XitNotes including how to register mailboxes etc.

Testing XitNotes

There is an option called Subfolder under the heading Outlook Options which is unchecked by default. To test XitNotes to make sure you are happy with it you should write to a folder in Outlook that is easy to remove (by deleting) as the information exported in the test will not be useful for anything other than testing. You can either create a brand new PST file (with the "New/Attach" button) or you can write to a subfolder in your existing Outlook Mailbox. If you do that however make sure you have a backup for disaster recovery purposes.
