How do I export my Lotus Notes address book to import it into Microsoft Outlook?

Step #1 - Install the Lotus Notes Migration Tools



On about the third screen of the installation process a question will pop up asking you what you want to install – Notes Client, Designer etc. Make sure you click on the “Custom” box in the very lower corner of your screen.





Step #2 – Format the Address Book to be Imported



In most cases, address books from various pop mail clients can be imported into Lotus Notes R5, but an end user's address book may need to be cleaned up before the import process begins. Since Notes looks for a first and last name field in the address book importation process, it is important to have your addresses in a first name and last name format.



(eg – Nickname) – Jane Doe – will import into the Notes address book fine

(eg – Nickname) – Doe – will have some problems.



Microsoft Outlook 2000

To correct – go into the address book, double click on name Doe – a dialog box will pop up, click on the “Names” tab, enter information into the first name and last name fields.



Step #3 – Start the Import Process

Microsoft Outlook Express / Outlook 2000



Export the address book as a text file, bring the file into Excel and clean it up, save the file again as a text file, import the address book into Netscape as a text file and then export it out of Netscape as noted previously. Note: under this method group information will be lost.



Errors After The Import Process



The most common error when importing an address book looks like this

(eg. ,doe). To correct this error, click on the name and enter information into the first and last name fields for this individual. If you cleanup the address book before you start, this type of error should be eliminated.
