Convert Canonical Names of Lotus Notes

When emails are migrated from NSF database into PST, the names will be saved with the canonical naming convention in Outlook (if that naming criteria is used in Notes®). Since Outlook uses SMTP naming system ([email protected]), it is a better option to convert the canonical names into SMTP names which can be done using the software.

Using the "Email Address Translation" feature in the tool, canonical names can be converted into SMTP names. To avail this option, enable the "Apply Advance Options (For Advance Users)" and hit the "Settings" button

Select "Email Address Translation" and click on the tab "Set SMTP Manually". Enable the check box for "Set SMTP".

Use the drop-down menu corresponding to the "SMTP Format" and chose the relevant email address format. The SMTP conventions can be a combination of following components:

• First Name
• Domain Name
• Last Name
• First Initial (F.I.)
• Last Initial (F.I.)

In the text box for "Domain Name", provide the domain name that should be added to the SMTP name.

In case the NSF file mail have variety of CN values for which varied domain names have to be defined, the option "Add .CSV File" can be used. How the details should be added into the CSV file is defined in the sample CSV file (which can be opened into text editor like Notepad, or MS Excel).

Once done, click on the "Apply" button at the page-bottom in order to get it added for export procedure.

Once the conversion is complete, the PST file can be opened in Outlook by following the below mentioned steps:

• In the File menu, Select Open and Export and choose Open Outlook Data File.
• Select the PST file and click Open.

We selected SMTP naming convention "Firstname@domainname" which is converted into PCVITA @systools.in. Here, the first name is taken from the Notes canonical name "PCVITA/pcvitadomaino" and the domain name is defined under the "Set SMTP" section.
