Lotus Notes address book to Outlok address book
Is there a tool (hopefully free) to convert/import a Lotus Notes address book into Outlook?
You have to export them in Notes to a CSV file then import that into Outlook. As an aside, CSV's are editable in Excel so its a perfect time to clean up the contacts if you want to.
