Since Outlook uses OFT templates and Lotus Notes uses NSF databases, the formats are totally different. Importing OFT directly into Notes won’t work.

A dedicated conversion tool like eSoftTools OFT Converter Tool makes the process straightforward. It supports all Outlook versions, produces clean NSF output files, and keeps the original formatting 100%.

If you’re transitioning from Outlook to IBM Notes, this is a dependable method.
