I have gotten this type of question three times in the last few months, and it has never come up before so this is perfect timing - thanks Eileen! 

Migrating from Lotus Notes?

There's been a lot of information about migrating from Notes over on the Collaboration tools blog.  Here are 3 tools in particular that may be of use to you if you're thinking of migrating to Exchange...

Microsoft Transporter Suite for Lotus Domino Demo: Messaging/Calendaring Coexistence and Migration This flash demo shows the pre-existing configurations in the Microsoft Transporter Tool Suite for Lotus Domino messaging/calendaring coexistence and migration.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Connector for Lotus Notes The Connector for Lotus Notes/Domino is a tool designed for organizations that need to coexist during a migration from Lotus Domino to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes.  The Migration Wizard for Lotus Notes is a tool designed for organizations that are migrating from Lotus Notes/Domino to Microsoft Exchange Server 2003.

And if you're using Notes at the moment, and want to have a play with Exchange 2007 safely without installing it, don't forget you can either have a look at the 5 day demo trial of Exchange or at the Exchange Server 2007 VHD  which comes as a pre-configured VHD and enables you to evaluate how "Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Office Live Communications Server 2005 together can help create an optimized messaging system for your organization."

By the way, if you have any specific issues about your migration that you'd like the team to know about, just mail them.  they'd be happy to hear from you...
