Haven't had time to pick it back up yet. I've been up to my armpits in
alligators migrating 23 internal people from one domain to another (they
brought their computers with them), as well as dealing with 8 field people
transferring from Notes to regular email.

They had tried to use the Outlook for Notes connector, which worked, after
a fashion, but worked like an IMAP/MAPI client, in that it left all the
mail on the server, and just pulled headers, unless you read the mail.  The
goal was to pull their entire notes mail down to get it into a PST.

Well, Outlook doesn't put the mail in a PST, it puts it into an NST file
using the Notes Connector, and once the Notes Server goes away, you can't
connect, or read the email, especially if all your mail is still on the
server.

So, we've been battling that. Luckily, I got copies of all their NSF files,
and by putting them on each persons local machine, they can fire up notes,
and read the database of mail with no problems.  They can use it as an
offline archive, while sending/receiveing with Outlook.

I've also bought a copy of Notes2Outlook, that will extract each notes
email, including attachments to MSG files, then will create a new PST file
from those MSG files.  It even stops before it gets to the 2 gig file
limit, so you don't end up with a PST that won't work.  There's an option
to create an Outlook 2003 PST that can go over 2 gig.  Takes forever to do
though, and you need Notes installed on the computer you're doing the
conversions on. It has a batch mode, so you can create a csv file with
path/filename.nsf, and path/filename.pst, and let it go to work crunching.

We'll eventually get them all converted.
