I tried to move contacts from an old Lotus Notes NSF file last month, and what annoyed me was how every so-called simple method created a new mess. I had roughly 230 contacts in that file, so I thought I would finish the job quickly. I first used the CSV route because most posts kept pointing there. That turned into a headache fast. Phone numbers shifted into random fields, a few email addresses disappeared, and some names looked broken after export.
The worst part was the checking. I opened the converted file on my phone and instantly saw missing details. After wasting hours, that’s when I realized the problem came from the method, not from the file.
I stopped forcing CSV into the process and tried TrustVare Contacts Manager for direct NSF to VCF conversion. It handled the contact file cleanly and kept the fields where they belonged. That finally saved me from fixing contacts one by one.
