Lotus Notes Mail Exporter (v0.9)

What it does...

Allows you to export your Lotus Notes Mail and attachments.
Your messages are exported to .TXT files, and your attachments are stored separately.
As I change the program, I blog about it here.

Cost?

Free.  But if you like the program and want to donate something... :-)

To get it to work, you need

• Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP2 or later
• .Net Framework 2.0 or later
• Lotus Notes client installed (tested with Notes 6.5)
• the program itself

The program options

"Notes file to export"
    - select the Notes NSF file you wish to process
"Output folder"
   - where you want your messages and attachments written
Export attachments
   - if you want your attachments exported, check the box.
Date to export from
   - the date you want to export messages from.
Log file (error trapping option)
   - writes a cryptic log file which helps me to debug the program.

EXIT
   - Exit the program.
GO
   - Start the extract
STOP
   - Stop the extract immediately.

Report a problem

Note the 0.9 version.  It's a early release, so it needs some work.
