Paul,
We changed to Notes (R5) about 8 months ago and I searched all over for a way to do just what you want - never did find a way to import PST emails into Notes. (There may be on the server side - don't know - but from the client I didn't find anything that would do the job.) Sorry.

Hmmm... that sucks... we have accounts with e-mail from 3 years ago in them that those people need access to almost everyday... thanks for the input... if anyone else has anything please post

Thank

Paul

Paul,

We just converted 200 email accounts from Exchange/Outlook to Notes 6 and had to migrate everyone's pst's as well. When you install the Notes client there should be an option to install the Exchange migration tools. Once those are installed go to C:\program files\lotus\notes and launch the app nmsxupgd.exe using this syntax "nmsxupgd 3". You must have the Personal Folder service in Outlook pointing to the pst(s) and Outlook must be configured as your d3efault mail service. This "nmsxupgd" app creates a separate database that you can open inside Notes.

Good luck,
Joe
