Re: [Lilux-help] Notes .nsf to mbox?

Hello Eric, As mboxis a fairly trivial format, why not write a small Java agent that takes the relevant Notes fields and writes them into a local file? Unless there are somehidden surprises with attachments it should be fairly easy, even with limited knowledge of Note programming. BTW, this might be the quickest approach for _any_ export from Notes...as soon as you have no view complete enough for File -> Export. And "structured text" export plus some text-file hacking might also do the job.

Hi Brent, [Notes .nsf to mbox] Actually, that's a very cumbersome solution that I was aware of and wanted to avoid - but which I ended up using since I found no other solution. I.e.: open the .nsf file in the Notes client, copy mails over to the server (that is, copy to a subdirectory of my normal mailbox), transfer them back to the local machine via Thunderbird's IMAP, and Thunderbird uses mbox for its folders. In my case, that was possible as I have IMAP active for my account - that may not be true for everybody (as it's inactive by default). A direct conversion possibility to mbox would be infinitly simpler... Other question regarding Notes: how to export an address book to something standard? I know Notes features LDAP connectivity, but in our case here that's inactive and will remain so. What's standard for such data anyway? Any ideas?
