Legal handed me an NSF file from a departed employee's Lotus Notes mailbox. We moved off Notes years ago and have no license or server left. I only need to read and search the mail inside. Options?

SysTools NSF Viewer opens NSF files standalone with no Notes client and no Domino server. Folder tree, message bodies and attachments all display, with search across the mailbox. Free for viewing.

If the file is protected by local NSF security you will see an access error. The vendor's Securase tool removes that local protection first, then the viewer opens it.

Viewer opened it straight away, found the messages legal wanted. Solved.
