As evident in my last post:http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedweb/0c8ffa456a5481e58525734d005e47de?OpenDocument
I do not work with Domino, at all. Right now, I am trying to find out how Domino stores a user email and how I could export a users email database without having to log in as them, much like MS Exchanges’ Exmerge feature.
Thank you and have a great day!

Maybe it would help if you would indicate what it is you are trying to accomplish more clearly.
exporting the mail from a Domino user’s mail file is not clear enough.
What is the result? Are you trying to convert their mail to exchange/outlook .pst files?
Are you trying to extract data for some other purpose, or archiving or compliancy, or what?
If you are simply trying to extract the mail from a Domino users mailbox which is a .NSF on the server, whos location is referenced by their person document in the Name and Address Book - to a .pst file.
Microsoft offers a conversion tool to do so.
There is also something called Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook, which allows the end user to use Outlook to connect to their Domino database - without using a Lotus Notes client.
Subject: Silly Newbie Question - Where are the User Email Databases
Domino stores and email within the NSF file designated in the Person document in the NAB. The email is a “document” in the database and can be accessed using LotusScript, Java, or formula language. The first step is to write the code. Given you are a newbie, this would be something you would need to ask your developer to do. The next step requires you to have access to the database and access to the documents. I am not familar with MS Exchange Exmerge feature to know what format you need your export saved as. If Exmerge can accept XML, you wouldn’t have too much trouble exporting the documents as XML (DXML) data.
