What is a .NST file?
An NST file is a type of storage file used by the Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino, which is an add-on for Microsoft Outlook. This add-on enables users to connect and access their Lotus Notes email and other data directly through Microsoft Outlook. The NST file stores Lotus Notes messages and other data on your local computer so you can access them even when you're offline. This is similar to how Outlook uses OST files for offline access to data.
To open an NST file, you need to use Microsoft Outlook 365, which should have the Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino installed. This setup allows Outlook to interact with the NST file.
It's important to note that NST files can become quite large over time. As they grow, they might slow down your computer or cause Outlook to crash. If you delete an NST file, the Outlook Connector will automatically create a new one. However, if you need to remove an NST file permanently, you should delete the entire Outlook profile and then create a new one.
NST files are typically stored in the same location as other Outlook data files like OST and PST. You can find these files in the following directories, depending on your version of Windows: - For Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ - For Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\ By managing these files and understanding where they are stored, you can help ensure that your Outlook and computer run efficiently.
