Looking for a Lotus Notes nsf file viewer
I am searching the web for a .nsf file viewer application, which would let me view all my archived e-mail for the last six years, without the need to have Lotus Notes. Is there such a thing at all?

You cannot view documents in an nsf databases without a valid installation of Notes/Domino.

Jun 15, 06 at 11:47Thomas, David: Thanks for your help. That leaves with just one option: Export messages to some plain-text format like: CSV and, then think of a way to display those messages like a tree [if possible].
Jun 15, 06 at 16:02The other alternative [if at all possible] would be to import all my mail from nsf files into a structured text format, which is essentially an mBox format [?] and then use GML.
Jun 15, 06 at 16:26Apparently, Structured Text option in Lotus Notes is not in mbox format. But I found this:
Now all I need to do is, save all my nsf files into structured text files, save them to my USB drive, then download and load-up the latest Knoppix [with KDE 3.5+]. Fire-up Kmail and begin the import sequence from Tools > Import > Import Lotus Notes Emails.
Once through, export back into mbox format and save the mbox file back to my USB drive.
