 Lotus Notes Export File from 1999
This is somewhat of a random question but after spending hours scouring the web and trying different tools, I am unable to find a solution. I worked for a company from 1999 to 2000 that used Lotus Notes. Prior to leaving, I exported all of my email to a TXT file. I now wish to import that TXT file into either Outlook, convert it to MBOX, GMail, anything that's more of a standard format. I have tried a few tools (such as NTE_CONV but it appears to only handle contacts) with little success. I also downloaded the latest notes client but when I performed the Structured Text import, it took the single message and converted it into 80, obviously confusing the headers in the process. My questions are as follows: 1. Does anyone have any idea what format the below message is? 2. Are there any tools out there that would allow me to convert it to a more appropriate format? 3. If not, where can I find archived version of Notes and which version would I have probably used in 1999/2000? The format of the text file consists of the headers followed by the message in this example: SendTo: Mark LastName/Company@Company CopyTo: Chris LastName/Company@Company From: CN=Brian Kim/O=Company Subject: demo PostedDate: 08/27/2000 03:59:54 PM RouteServers: CN=CompanyNotes/O=Company RouteTimes: 08/27/2000 03:57:52 PM-08/27/2000 03:57:52 PM DeliveredDate: 08/27/2000 03:57:53 PM $Orig: Categories: $Revisions: Mark, I was able to fix a problem... Thanks. I realize its kind of an unusual problem but if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

If this was me, I'd probably write a quick VB app to parse the file and create Outlook MSG files for each message.
