Domino Server keeps the replica of the Notes client. It is responsible for controlling access to mail files and application databases. It provides robust security to databases. Working with Domino Server, users can run Lotus Notes on Windows, Linux, IBM System Z, and various other operating systems.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MS_Outlook_File_Format\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">MS Outlook File Format<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>MS Outlook is another so popular email client used by hundreds of small and large companies. Like Lotus Notes, MS Outlook has its server, known as Exchange Server. If companies are using Exchange Server with MS Outlook, the tool creates an OST file to save data. If companies are using MS Outlook without Exchange Server, the data is stored in the PST file extension.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_Users_Like_to_Switch_from_Domino_Server_to_Microsoft_Outlook\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 18pt\">Why Do Users Like to Switch from Domino Server to Microsoft Outlook?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are several reasons why users like to transfer from Domino Server. They are sharing their reasons on forum websites. We have picked some common reasons for conversion.<\/p>\n<p>Domino Server can be slow or inaccessible. In this situation, it impacts productivity. Conversion of Lotus Notes files to MS Outlook client can be useful. It helps maintain the workflow.<\/p>\n<p>From the point of data storage, the notes users can store up to 64 GB in an NSF file while MS Outlook allows users to store up to 50 GB. Despite the positive storage of NSF, users want to export NSF data to PST because the maintenance cost of Domino Server is pretty higher than MS Outlook.<\/p>\n<p class=\"root-block-node\" data-paragraphid=\"3\" data-from-init=\"true\" data-changed=\"false\">The user interface of Lotus Notes is not very friendly. It needs strong technical knowledge. It may need technical assistance from time to time to troubleshoot some <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcinfotools.com\/blog\/error-in-lotus-notes-hcl-notes\/\">errors in Lotus Notes HCL Notes<\/a><\/strong>. On the other hand, MS Outlook has an interactive interface.
